More thoughts on 9.3x64

I own a couple of 9,4x64 rifles, great and versatile caliber.
For medium/heavy game, including plains game, I prefer bullets like the Accubond or other lead-core bullets with 250gr weight. Most of this bullets offer a high B.c. which last in high energy also in 300 m distance with flat ballistics.

If you intend to hunt buffalo with the 9,3x64, which is possible, you should focus on real premium bullets as heavy as possible like A-Frame, North Fork or check if the 320gr bullets from Degol or Woodleigh are available.

For our European game, especially if lead-free is requested, bullets like the 230gr Aero ( http://www.styriaarms.com/aero.html ) can be recommended, good ballistics due to good B.c. makes the caliber versatile.

The 9,3x64 is in my eyes a very precise caliber and so far I did not had any disappointments regarding non-precise bullets...
 
I had shot many Brenneke cartridges, including 7X64, 8X64S and 9.3X64. I felt the 8X64 was redundant and sold it off keeping the 7mm & 9.3mm... if I had been sharp that day, I would have went the other way around and kept the 8mm and sold the other two. However, I love my Ruger M77 Brenneke's... shot a lot of game with them, mostly with S&B TUG's.

The 7x64 and 9.3x64 sound like a nice combination.

The bottom rifle pictured is the 7X64 Brenneke.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
