Rimmed (only) Cartridges

[Boone66]

I know the confusion and I don't know much about the round. I do believe it was made for doubles and drillings so think it was to emulate the 9.3X62 in weaker actions. I'll have to see if I can find my Cartridges of the World and see what it says. Hopefully somebody with some knowledge of it will jump in.

Thanks

So thats like a normal 8x57, just at.a lower pressure?

And rimmed
But basically yes

I have a question for the group, I just got a 9.3x74R Drilling, from what I understand, Drillings need a lower pressure, or is it OK to run standard loads in it? I'm getting some mixed signals on the subject. From what I can tell, it was made in the 1920's and proofed for this Caliber, but no bullet or load data on the barrel that I can find.

Should be able to handle it. They are designed for them as you said. The 9.3x74r is lower pressure than it’s rimless counterpart.

True about pressure, but I think bullet selection is key with Drillings. Their barrels run quite thin so a softer bullet is recommended.

Cartridges of the World says what has been said. Intended for use in Drillings, Doubles and single shots of the day. Low pressure.

Thanks guys, I did find some information on it 46000 cip, it was specifically made to compete with the 380 Nirto express. From the different articles said, it is made only for break action guns, stalking, double and drillings. From what I understand, all factory type loads, including solids can be shot in all.the guns. Yes, I know they are also made in falling and hinge block rifles.

Is the 22 hornet a insert barrel for the Drilling?

Is the 22 hornet a insert barrel for the Drilling?

Yes. A full lenght one from K+S

Yes. A full lenght one from K+S

Nice, I would like one for mine, can you post a picture of yours and how did you regulate it?

Mine is proofed for a steel bullet, but I won't be shooting any of those out of it.

Those are mostly adjustable at the muzzle via smallbset screws

This book filled in a lot of gaps in the information that I had, including action types, barrel inserts and how it should be sighted in.

.375 H&H Flanged Magnum. Most useful cartridge in the world, together with its rimless belted twin.

That is shithot.....

Methinks the fps is a typo...

Methinks the fps is a typo...

I do also, all my reloading books are 2200-2400 fps, max. For the 9.3x74R,. I would expect it's rimless stable mate to be about the same, I think their is a Magnum one though, maybe that is what he is talking about, though I still doubt those speeds.
