Did somebody used 8x75RS???

Had once the opportunity to ahoot it in a doublenrifle.

Odd looking with that short neck

I do..., in a Blaser BD880.
But never has seen Africa.

I do fancy a 25-35...

it is a fun little cartridge, mine is loaded fairly sedately, but has taken goats and fallow deer

[Certus]

Don’t have any of these but I’d love: .45-75 and .50-95. And a .40-60. But I’d love to do a brown bear with the .45-75.

Have a .25-20, love that cartridge.

Hard to beat 22LR in fun and affordability. Love all my 22s. It has a bit more power than the 22 Long used to kill a world record grizzly - https://www.ammoland.com/2017/06/be...-world-record-grizzly-and-more/#axzz8R4rQDmtv
Might need to go up to 22 WMR for something like an elephant

Remember the “BB”caps at the carnival range? Let’s see how many old farts are here

6mm Flobert shells, round ball and conical. I’ve still got some, and I’ve been told you can still buy them

Forgot to add, I’ve got the thumb trigger Winchester to use them in, which was the carnival rifle of choice down here.

I need some help finding 9.3x74R brass and dies, seems everyone is sold out.

I have one, its a tack driver

 

[Boone66]

I see we are listing what we have

22lr
22 Hornet
30-30 win
8.15x46R
8x56R
9.3x74R
45-70
so far, also have hand gun cartridges and others. I really don't have a favorite.

 

[Rule 303]

I would have to say the .22 rimfire, 303, then 22 Hornet and 30-30.

22 because it is cheap and heaps of fun.
303 because it just works and grew up with them same with the 22 Hornet
30-30, it worked well above its weight and was the first center fire I bought.

I found everything that I needed

Now mew to me but a warm welcome into the safe:
8x57irs

So thats like a normal 8x57, just at.a lower pressure?

 

[Boone66]

I have a question for the group, I just got a 9.3x74R Drilling, from what I understand, Drillings need a lower pressure, or is it OK to run standard loads in it? I'm getting some mixed signals on the subject. From what I can tell, it was made in the 1920's and proofed for this Caliber, but no bullet or load data on the barrel that I can find.

As I understand it you use more powder due to the larger case to attain 9.3X62 velocities. So the pressure would be lower. Having said that I do not know what it is safely capable of in a modern rifle like a Ruger No1.

Some say 2300fps, some are 2500 fps and others are even higher, for the 296gr bullet. I know the drilling isn't as strong as a NO.1, it's hard to blow up a NO.1. Looking at the load data and my power supply, W760 gives the lowest pressure with the greatest speed. I'm just curious is the reloading data is for drilling pressure? As far as.i know, it was only loaded in break action and a few falling blocks.

I know the confusion and I don't know much about the round. I do believe it was made for doubles and drillings so think it was to emulate the 9.3X62 in weaker actions. I'll have to see if I can find my Cartridges of the World and see what it says. Hopefully somebody with some knowledge of it will jump in.
