RWS 9.3x74r Ammo Source

[Hillcountry63]

Does anyone know of a US source for RWS ammo in 9.3x74r? My Sabatti was regulated with RWS and I'd like to find some as a reference point.

New England Custom Gun used to. They won’t be for the foreseeable future unfortunately. Per their website and my personal contact with them. Good luck with your search

Looking for their 285gn which is what it was regulated with.

That would be the T-Mantel 18,5 gram load I believe. The RAP-X Power bonded is 18.8 gram or 291 grain.

@Dirtdart you are correct Sir

You won't be out much to try one box in another brand--you can sure use them up on hogs, etc anyway. I would want to know how other brands shot anyway since you might find yourself separated from your ammo, and then you would know what to expect. Never hurts to have once-fired brass on hand if you should want to experiment with other premium bullets, hand loading.
Have you looked for dies yet?

@steve white, I totally agree with everything you said and I’ve already got several other brands on hand to try. Primarily want the RWS to verify and be able to dissect the load.

I know I’m going to raise some eyebrows, to say the least, but I would try other brands. You might get lucky and find your gun shoots other ammo well too. My WJ Jeffery 450/400 was regulated with Kynoch ammo back in 1900. I used Hornady and my groupings were excellent.
