    How many people have a 35 whelen?

    I have a Ruger MKII RS in 35 Whelen. I like it. Shoots pretty well.

    Rebarrel a Tikka T3 from .30-06 to 9.3x62?

    As mentioned above, should be an easy conversion by a competent gunsmith. Other option may be to find one in Canada and have an importer such as IRUNGUNS, or the like bring it across the border. Prophet River has a laminate version...

    Fixin' to load up some 375H&H

    H4350 & IMR 4350 worked well for me when creating handloads. Best groups of under an inch were achieved in the 2500-2600fps range. Bullets used were Hornady 300gr RN and Hornady 300gr FMJ as it's all I have in that weight. IMR 4350, IMR 4064, IMR 3031 worked well for the 270gr Hornady Spire...

    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)

    I have a set of 404J dies from CH4D. Good quality. Tolerances are good.
