Interesting, I may have to check that out also.

I would like to get close to 3000fps, just don't know if I'm pissing in the wind, or have to go to a really unefficent case, or just a longer barrel. Case length is not a factor for me, as it will be in a no1

Would using the back of a closed pocket knife work? I use mine like that, for lots of things.

In a lot of things, from scopes, tools, to toys. People keep the extra batteries laying around in drawers, next to all the other batteries. Not to mention all the other small batteries around. This is just nuts, to put a child lock on a scope.

Using a gas checked hard cast with a flat melpete works very well. I don't know where you would find FMJ bullets, unless they are the older round nosed ones, then they would push through and not cause any cavitation, likely even with a big 45 cal hole, their would be a tracking involved. Even...

Thanks

9x56ms, does good on deer, bear and elk.

Interesting, I would think H1000 would have been the ticket.

I saw some other nice guns on there also

Now the problem is picking the correct one.

Works good for coyotes and prairie dogs, but then so does the fact 22s and 25s.

Don't forget the Whelen/Brown, 9x56ms and 9x57

I have one of these, but haven't mounted it, looks like it will need tall rings anyways.

Do you have a link for him, I've been looking for one for a Manlicher schonauer

Anyone done a 9.3- 300wby? Been thinking on this one, as I have a shot out barrel and 300wby brass.

I don't have pictures, but I have seen it done several ways, some not so good..dremel to grind, then electric graver with new one, xxxxx, then stamped new one. On the good side, filed and polished off and new one engraved in, small end mill machined flat and new stamped in. Their are several...

Ahh, just something I'm kicking around, I have lots of 300wby brass and 9.3 bullets, not so much 375 bullets. I have a lathe and mill, so no matter what, barrel would have to be sent out and re rifled..may just start with 8mm, or 35cal. But really been wanting to see just how much you can ring...

I believe your right

I have one also, brought back by my dad, it was the first burl table that we made and was for my mom. Dad and I made several afterwards, maple, redwood and myrtle wood mostly. Mom and dad are gone and it now resides with me, found memories making it, it is due for a refinishing.

Right, but I have 300wby dies and brass, all I to do ream the neck on the die and expand the neck on the brass. I could also go 300ultra mag also, for the same reason. I don't own anything in PRC, so would require custom dies as well as if I use the P17 Enfield, magazine work, in the no1...

And a 9x56ms , to be the cult leader

Been kicking Around nicking up the 300wby to 9.3. Mostly because I have a shot out 300wby barrel for my ruger no1 and already have a 9.3x74R. Thinking about a longer range gun for plains game, like eastern Montana elk. As well as having grizz protection.

That would definitely be a good one

Different cartridge, I know it says only 2mm difference, but the 74 case is wider and has a slight bottle neck.

Thanks for that information

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Remington 40X

Well dang, I happen to have a 50 BMG barrel hanging out next to a No1 action...now, you guys got me thinking again...I like rimmed shells on single shots, a 50-120 suped up..hmmm

Isn't the encore rated at 60,000psi? I believe it's stronger then most doubles. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a cartridge that can't be shot on it.

yes, a lot more.

I love Bear hunting, always wanted a euro bear, but just cant swing it. I do have a interior Alaskan griz, estemated by fish and game at around 650ls, and several black bears, biggist from a couple years ago at around 450-500lbs. some day ill get over their and thump one.

im not saying they are unreliable, just the rugers no1 and no3 and bolt guns can take a higher pressure is all, so put them a step above the lever guns and several steps from a trap door, is all.

The problem with the 45-70 is their are three power levels to it, black powder pressure, lever guns and ruger No1 and a few bolt actions. The latter sto ger actions with a 450 to 500gr bullet put it on the heels of a 458 win. Still not a stopping rifle though. I own both the 45-70 ruger in a no3...

I had a 300 wby that gave me fits, took the barrel off, it's still on my bench, with me trying to decide what I want to make it into.

I think some people are getting stopping rifles and killing rifles mixed up. Is a 45-70 a stopping rifle on bears, yes..is it a stopping rifle on cape Buffalo, no, or I wouldn't use it as such, just like a 9.3x74R is a stopping rifle on bears, but not cape Buffalo...both will kill them though...

if his was like mine, saw some elk, missed a easy shot, then contemplated why i like late season Muzzle loader season.

what are your thoughts on the 9.3x74R?

Works in mice and rats, as.long as your close. A pellet gun kills a lot better then that shot.

I'll measure one of.mine when I get.out to the shop. They are.very similar cartridges, but the MS is a lower pressure.

The plug goes in the bore, then pored from the breach end

Those 9mm barrels will be between .356 and .360, is my experience. .358 cup and core bullets can be resized to .358, with a sizing die, custom bullets can be made also. Some folks say .366 bullets can be reduced to ..360, but I haven't done that yet.

My 9x56ms is also stamped 7.9, sometimes that's the bore size, not the groove diameter. A chamber cast and bore slug will tell you the actual size.

9x56ms brass, headstamped

This is kinda interesting, that's the main problem I have with the chest rig concept, is how the binos would work with it. What bino.rig is that. Also, I normally carry a old model Ruger Vaquaro in 45colt.

That's a pretty rifle

Or at least the 250gr Speer hot core, as the round noses are unumtanium anymore around here.

Those are a couple of studs.

I have a few 232gr and am looking for more. Thank you for the feed back.

Thanks, it's a 1930's drilling and is regulated to the iron sights for 286gr

I find the 250gr Speer hotcore is really all you need, I have yet to recover one.

Deer, bear and the heavier ones elk. Are all of them for the 72, or just the 200gr?
