    Interarms Mark X 7x57 Mauser

    I have a Interarms Mark X as well. Shoots 145gr bullets exceptionally well. I was messing around with some Speer 145gr Gold Match bullets that I had lying around. They would shoot under 0.30" (5 shot group at 100yds) which I thought was impressive.

    The Perfect 9.3x62 Safari Rifle

    I have the entire line of BRNO/CZ 9.3x62 rifles. My go to would be my ZG47 or CZ550 FS in 9.3x62. One aspect that surprised me whilst shooting the 9,3x62's is that they all shoot the exact same POI no matter which rifle I shoot them in (referring to the BRNO/CZ rifles). I shoot mainly 285/286gr...

    9.3 X62 brass and bullet powder recommendation

    I have yet to take an animal with my 9.3's, but here are some loads that shot well. Rifles used ZG47, ZKK 600, CZ550 (I have the complete set of BRNO rifles that were produced in this calibre to my knowledge). No matter which 9.3 I shoot the reloads all shoot with the exact same point of impact...

    9.3x62 dies

    I use Redding dies. Just think they are better quality. To each his own I guess.

    Rate the C-H Tool & Die set (404J)

    Sorry it's 3+1. Just realized what I typed. I just went through the email transcript I had with Corlanes back in 2015. All the "smith" had to do really was to open up the barrel channel, make a couple of extractor cuts, put on a different set of sights that I wanted, and install a barrel band...

    Built mine on a M70 375H&H Classic in Stainless. Turned out pretty nice. Not much work required. Rebarrel, bolt face/feed ramp needed at bit of machining, add different sights, ready to go.
