I’m sure with modern powders and bullets the 10.75x68 could be a nice oldie to revive just for the fun of it!

I’m in! I bought a Ken Owen build of a 10.75x68 Mauser. Not an old gun or a collector but a nice rifle none the less. Krieger 24” on a commercial action. I have 2 boxes of loaded Ammo, an additional 56 brass and 210 bullets from 300-400 gr. Mostly woody 350s. Dies also. I’m looking forward to working up loads to match the old school 404 Jeffery ballistics If I can safely get there. Looking for advice on an appropriate 400 gr solid. Pic to follow.
Congratulations! I was tempted by that one myself

I love the lines on that rifle. Including the subtle Schnabel. Well done. Good choice. Thanks for pics FWB

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
