2208 is Varget if I remember correctly, great powder for the Bock -cartridge!

416 Ruger?

brass, bullets and primers need no firearms license in Germany

there were some nice guns in his shop....

on the reloading database 416 still exists

difficult once they bolt face and extractor have been widened to .532 magnum dimensions

9.3x62, 1938 DWM Mauser, Heym Match grade barrel, 50 cm, Ralf Martini made stock of Birds Eye maple, Recknagel safety, Timney trigger, shoots 155 gr MJG as a deer and moose load.

How many of those clips are AI?

Varget is very very close to RL15, a good choice. CFE223 is the slighly slower burning ball-powder version, but gives more speed in many instances

I find the NX8 have a very small eyebox and need optimal cheekweld. I am much happier with Leupold VX6 1-6 ( 416 rigby) and Vx 6 2-12 on a 9.3x375, much better field of vision. Maybe not quite as robust.

you are dealing with a number of variables and without pressure testing ( which generally is easier to obtain in Europe) you can only guess where you are pressure wise. Your best approximator is measuring bullet speed ( Garmin Xero's are comparably cheap) The major variables are -brass (...

I love my 243, there is an oldtimer here in BC who shot everything from Grizzly to goat with a partition out of a 243. Just don't overthink it

If I knew how to get it across the border.....

this is a military 98 action, original is standard length ( cut-out for loading strips on the left). It will have major modifications/lengthening of the action to fit a 375H&H, it was made for 8x57IS. Whether this is any good depends on the metallurgic skills of the gunsmith/welder. Also the...

see my previous post, there seems to be a minimal or cumulative infectious dose for prions.

Agree with all he says, the rimless variants are the wildcats based on 8x64, 375 Ruger ( as I have it) 300 WSM, with similar velocities, but all at higher pressures and not rimmed. So this cartridge ( at 366 or 375) certainly fills a niche. I like it.

any neural tissue, so concentrtation differs brain> spinal cord> peripheral tissue

prions are " denatured" neurotropic proteins, they made it from dead sheep via heat processed feed into elk and cattle. And from Cattle to humans, especially in Switzerland and England where that feed was employed. So I would not eat anything that has tested positive for any prion disease for...

this is understating things for the 9.3x64: for 286 gr you are getting to 2750 fps with medium burnrate powders ( Varget, H4350) and even more with powders in the 4831 range.

the 9.3x62 tapers 0.02 " from base to shoulder, the 30-06 0.03", the 280AI 0.015", Let's say you want to keep a taper of 0.015 for sake of extraction, then the gain in powder capacity is minimal woth a 9.3x62. And you WANT reliable extraction in Africa ( or anywhere). Handloads can take you...

I think they were the Frankonia house brand in Germany. Forest Favorit. Different makers over the years. The picture you posted is likely an FN action or similar, not a sporterized military. Good quality Look up or post the proof marks

30-40 years ago it was socially acceptable to be slightly deaf, because you were a hunter....

any handgun pointed at the guide would work. I think he'd paddle pretty fast.....

I don't see why the powder load or the kick is even a matter of discussion anymore. It is barely a notch up from the 300 PRC, maybe one to two grains of powder. I reload this one for a friend and the newer load data are now neutered compared to older data and the current factory loads ( all...

Germany: Hartmann&Weiss

I am shooting the 160 gr TTSX out of a sporterized K98, made in 1940 , KYF, Winchester or Lapua Brass, seat about 2 mm from lands. Hodgkon says 54 gr max for CFE 223, but keep in mind this is for <48 k CUP, or for old M 96. Modern guns can do 58 k PSI. I get 2940 fps with good precision. alt...

I do, but there is a border....

or are you hunting with Doug McMann?

Tatlyoko is a great area, dramatic mountains, very remote. Good moose population due to very restrictive draw, as a large part is Chilquot land ( read up on what happens if your land is repossessed from under your white man's arse.) if this is the outfitter at the end of Tatlyoko lake, then you...

same on a light walking BRNO in 8x57, nice scope, bare bones.

knickerbockers, Loden and Khaki

Caveat: no personal experience! there are 2 boutique brass manufacturers in Germany: GM, closely associated with Johannsen in Neumuenster, took over Horneber after the founders retirement and has reactivated part of the previous production, but not all the exotics. reputedly good quality for...

I would suggest you order the components brass and bullets that can be regularly shipped. Reimer Johannsen is the source for Sax. Shipping loaded ammo across the pond is insane. But unrestricted components make little trouble Germany to Canada. Looking at load data for the 105 gr 7 mm bullets...

it is called 366 DGW https://firearmwiki.com/wiki/.366_DGW https://jagdfibel.de/images/7/74/366dgw.pdf

there is a 9.3 on a necked down 416 Rigby, forget what it was called

way to slow

24" Heym barrel on Abolt 3 ( gun 1) and FN Mauser ( gun 2). Slightly diffent depth of reaming. I started with powders in the H100/H4350/STBALL 6.5 class and ran into rather sudden pressure issues at about 2700 fps for 250 gr ( GMX and Woodleigh) and 2640 fps for 286 gr ( partition and Privi)...

and if it is built on a 375 Ruger, I have had one since 2016, it is a 9.3 CAN.

you can ship from Germany, but they are import restricted in the US. And most parcels are -x-rayed, so they would not go through is undeclared. You'd need an import permit before they are sent.

nice, but has no crossbolts, probably never shot. Could split the stock.

Does "matching bolt" mean the bolt fits and is a 458 Win bolt and is a replacement or is it number-identical/original?

original made by Bofors/Sweden, then relabeled

RL 17=RS 60, but not really " available"

H414 is W760 , seems you can get into the 2200 fps range easily

I have it, he made it. Dies by Hornday

H4895 and 270 gr bullets from Hornady or speer. H 4895 can be reduced to even 60% of max load without detriment ( google reduced loads), even around 50-52 gr would give you about 2000 fps. which should be pretty soft shooting. or if you want to get into the 1300 fps range, try Trailboss.
