Welcome aboard Mulga. How about posting an article comparing your
9.3 x 66 to the more typical 9.3 x 62. This is the first time I've ever seen it mentioned. I have a couple of old Sako Finnbear(s) but don't have any experience with the newer models.

Welcome aboard Mulga. How about posting an article comparing your
9.3 x 66 to the more typical 9.3 x 62. This is the first time I've ever seen it mentioned. I have a couple of old Sako Finnbear(s) but don't have any experience with the newer models.

I can do some basic comparison in the next month or so when we get to the range again, but I don't expect too much of a difference. A mate I shoot with has the 9.3x62, we handload the same pills and same powder, the only difference is I have a 21 inch barrel and he has a 23 1/4.

My take on the great mystery why Sako introduced a new 9.3 cartridge (for that action length) was relating to factory ammo (loaded pressures) and the number of older and potentially weaker actioned rifles in circulation; the factory 9.3x66 can be powered up but not mistakenly chambered in a 9.3x62 rifle. But from a hand loaders perspective this is moot point. In the US Federal released the 9.3x66 Sako as the 370 Sako Magnum.

There are a couple of good threads here on AH on the cartridge.

Hello from Toowoomba Australia. Long time lurker, lots of good conversation here. I don't hunt as much as I like and make pretty good biltong. I grew up reading Capstick, Ruark and other such stories so I'm bit of a romantic nostalgic.

I'm quite late to seeing your introduction, but welcome to AH nonetheless!
