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

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...

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...

I have the Nikon Monarch African w/German #4 crosshair on my stainless Winchester M70 in 404J

I have a Nikon Monarch African w/German #4 reticle on my CZ 550 450 Rigby. Have yet to get the dreaded "scope eye".

404 Jeffery. Has a track record of killing stuff, and well.......it's just class!

22 Hornet? 358 Norma Mag? 358 Shooting Times Alaskan?

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.

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...

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...

I use Talley, Warne, Burris, & Leupold. Cross section of fixed and QD.

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

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

Nikon Monarch 3 1-4x20, African with German #4 reticle on mine. Leupold QR rings.

I built a 358 Norma Mag using a CZ550 in 7mm Rem Mag as the donor rifle. Barrel is med contour PacNor 24". Load it likes the most is the Speer 250gr HCSP. Powder: IMR 4350 Charge: 72gr Primer: CCI 250 Case: Norma 358 OAL 3.340 5 shot vel (chrono 6ft from muzzle) Hi vel 2789 Low 2709 Variance...

Mine's not as pretty as that one. Nice!

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...

Yes. No mod done. I can fit 4+1. Corlanes, in BC did the work

Go hunting or a 450 Rigby Double

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.

I got my dies from CH4D Mt Vernon, Ohio.

All of my BRNO/CZ rifles in 9.3x62 will shoot just under 0.75" at 100yds (5 shots) using H414 and 285gr Lapua MEGA's. Amazing round. I can interchange the same load in all the 9.3's and it shoots the same POI.

Nice rifle. I have one which is all original in 9.3x62. I aslo have a ZG 47 in 7x57. Just picked up an ZG 47 in 8x64 Brenneke as well.

7x57, 8x68S, 375H&H

Welcome fellow Canuck!

Tks. I have a BRNO 602 in 8x68s so I have copious amounts of room. I was going to try 3.410", 3.425 & 3.50". General consensus seems to be around 3.425".

Has anyone played around with using Sierra 200gr HPBT in their 8x68s? I know it's not really a bullet one would generally use for hunting, but I thought I would try a few and see what happens on paper. I need COL. I know velocities would range somewhere between 2600fps and 3000fps. I was going...

I had one. Regret selling it. Yes, Zastava's are a rough rifle and need to be worked in (similar to BRNO 602'S). They are exceptionally accurate though. They are also pretty tough.

CCI 250's or Fed 215M

Start with the minimum Hornady/Speer 200gr load listings and work up slowly from there. My 338WM loved the Nosler 210gr Partitions. The Second Edition of Modern Reloading by Richard Lee has a large cross section of loads using 200gr bullets.

I built my 404J using a Win M70 Stainless CRF in 375H&H as a donor rifle. Very little gunsmith work involved, plus you don't see too many stainless 404J's around.

Dies can be got from CH4D Ammo here: https://ellwoodepps.com/sellier-bellot-s-b-8x64s-196gr-spce-20-rd.html You may possible have the rifle I bought from Tradeex which I sold to a guy in BC. BTW keep an eye on Tradeex they stock dies & brass from time to time.

Did you check with Brownells, UK?

Great calibre choice. I have a custom 404J built on a Win M70 Stainless 375H&H donor rifle. I would be getting a different scope as suggested by others. Eye relief would be a concern in an older scope. I would think you would want at least 4". I have a Nikon African 1-4x20 with German #4 reticle.

Then in that case it would have to be the 7x64 Brenneke! ;)

I have one 270 Win rifle and six 7x57 rifles.............hmmmm

9.3x62 is an awesome cartridge. Zastava's are an excellent, well built rifle. May be a bit rough in spots but use will fix that. Not to hijack the thread but would like to show accuracy of the cartridge, and what you should expect. Shot with BRNO 600 in 9.3x62 I just picked up. Results at 100 &...

Well I found this: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/07/06/oood-mccann-industries-458-win-mag-garand/ Sacrilege to wreck a M1 Garand but if you got money....

I have an old single stage RCBS "O" press that I got almost 40yrs ago. Still use it. Works great. I also have a Hornady Progressive press to reload pistol as it's quicker for this task. I've been considering getting into competition rifle shooting. It was suggested that a Forster CO-AX press...

I have dies and brass to load said beasties. I've been concentrating on shooting my 7x57's more so lately.

I re-barrelled a Winchester M70 375H&H to 404 Jeffery. Was a lot easier to get done than re-boring. Installed a stainless Lilja barrel. Only one or two places do re-boring here in the Peoples Republic of Canada.

I have a set of CH4D dies for my 404 (couldn't find a set here in Canada when they were required). I'm happy with them. If I had my druthers I would prefer Redding. If I recall there was an article I read a few years back comparing die drands. Redding tolerances are a bit tighter than RCBS...

Some really nice rifles listed in this thread. I have two 8x57's, BRNO 21H & CZ 550. Alas I have failed in my duty as a firearms enthusiast to shoot either of them yet. In fact the BRNO still has the auction tag on it from 3yrs ago (I hang my head in shame)!

Hey Earl. Glad you found your ZG (I'll stop looking for you now LOL). I have a carbine version in 7x57, plus a 9.3x62. Your scope choice would work well for where you hunt. I have a 2-7 Nikon on my 7x57 and a Nikon 1.5-4x20 #4 German reticle on the 9.3

404 Jeffery for the more civilized man....slow hand clap.....

I re-barrelled a Winchester M70 375H&H to 404 Jeffery. Was a lot easier to get done than re-boring. Installed a stainless Lilja barrel. Only one or two places do re-boring here in the Peoples Republic of Canada.

Couple of things. Don't forget it's a hunting rifle not an F-Class rifle so groups of 1-2" are OK if staying within 300yds (my experience with my 375H&H). Are you allowing proper cool down between strings? If the barrel hasn't been "free floated" there may be contact spots in the barrel channel...

I think it's a great calibre. Basically a 460 Weatherby minus about 5%, operates at less pressure, and has less recoil. I have a CZ550 in 450 Rigby. It can shoot 1" groups from the bench (I use a LeadSled with 3x25lb bags of shot for weight). I have fired it off hand at 100yd targets. Being a...

I Hey Bruce Agreed. I should clarify. From what I found over the years of shooting is that if the barrel channel has any pressure points they will possibly come into play when the barrel heats up. Hot barrel expands the wood creating pressure on the barrel. Has happened in several rifles that I...
