completely agree, who said it was rotator cuff? the shoulder is complex, step 1 is a good physical exam, step 2 an MRI. How you "buggered it up" would be a first hint to what is wrong ( mechanism of injury). Is it a strain, an incomplete or a complete tear of whatever is wrong. Good luck...

I can't believe the the 8 mm kurz made the list. is that so the WW2 fans can hunt with the STG44?

actually no, it is at the upper range of what Barnes quotes and that is within the Rigby pressure constraints, smoke yes, but at normal pressure.

Loading for a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby that I have had for a couple of years. My go to hunting bullet in Canada is a GSC monolithic, 255 gr that flies flat and does everything here ( and likely in Afrika , if I ever make it). My plan B load ( as GSC does not exist anymore ) is a load of 97 gr H100V...

My favorite powders in a 9.3x375ruger are CFE223 , better than varget, h100 v, and for heavy bullets, eg 285 gr, superformace. Stball 6.5 was disappointing with pressure signs at sub max speed, rather suddenly.

loading for a 9.3x375 Ruger, H100v, CFE223 and 6.5 Stball are fastest and most consistent for 250 gr bullets. I don't think H4350 and Varget are "worse" , just a tad slower

same

well, there is no set trigger mechanism built in.

@Kevin375 thank you for the write up, this is an excellent gallery of bullet performance. Quite typical of the standard cup and core. I would not call it a bad bullet, as for everything you have to be aware of the limitations of the product. This is not a bullet for high-speed or bone crunching...

the 300 gr interlock and the 286 gr for 9.3 mm are the same bullet-construction and apparently have a bit of a thicker jacket than the smaller calibers, The few animals I have shot with a 9.3.x62 and this bullet had 2 holes ( deer) or the bullet expanded on the exit side (black bear). no...

Pictures would be good. Lots of german hunters on the forum here. 30-06 was the same in East Germany, but very uncommon. Sounds like a gun made for export. Look for the Q1 stamp. Some break actions do fine with higher pressure cartridges like 270 or 30.-06.

I just checked the ADI data, thanks for the pointer. I am loading 97 gr of H100v behind a 350 gr Barnes TTSX, nearly 20 grain less than suggested by ADI for a 350 gr Speer hotcor and still getting 2580 fps... I'll just start from square 1.

there are a lot of SA family docs in Canada, in some areas 20-30 % of all GPs ( rural SK, ALTA, BC),so many actually, that Canada can't advertise jobs in SA anymore as it is considered a country in need.

If only H4350 were available in Canada. Quite hard to get anywhere. I like the idea of a very temperature stable alternative. Any explanantion why H4831 kicks harder although it is a slighter slower burning powder? I am not really looking for more speed, just a more reliable supply of powder...

Hi, I am starting to load NF cup-monolithics for my 416 Rigby. Hornady brass, FED 201 GM primers. I have loaded 350gr TTSX with H100 v to about 2670 fps, so I have an idea for a starting load with H100V. BUT I would really like to use Hornady SUPERFORMANCE. Does anyone have experience with this...

restricted item in the US, the law says no....

and get a bus for the whole company to Tofino.

I wonder if they can make the extra capacity floor plate for M98.

Hahndrilling with long sideplates, old even in the 50s.

german politician....

agree, military 98 with double /german set trigger. Pic one has a S&S stamp ( Sauer and Sohn)? the N under the crown should be Liege Nitro proof mark it is still the military barrel. therefore the 7.9 mm, but someone whacked a 35 into barrel and receiver, so maybe 9x57 after all? K98 usually...

If the drilling was originally bored to 20/76 then it is likely later than 1980s. All the postwar merkels have the often copied double underlock and a Greener Crossbolt. Same lock as the double rifles and the O/U. All in Kalibers pressure rated to 52-58.000 PSI. So strong actions loads should be...

in addition to the above, degrease the crossbolt. it may just be old gunk in there not letting it close well under strain

this is a most excellent gun, I inherited a sporting clay model from an old gent and competitive shooter in our club which after 30 years and countless round by this man is slowly softening up, but it still shoots wonderfully. you will have a hard time wearing this beauty down!

I load/shoot brass monolithics at 155 and 170 gr, MJG and OK+, from Germany and Yugoslavia, respectively. They turn a 9.3 x 62 into a flat shooting deer/ bear/moose gun to 250 to 300 yards easily. lapua used to make a 232 gr lead free bullet. with a very good reputation for deep penetration...

Blaser manufacturing is apparently entirely CNC based with very tight tolerances. I could imagine that conventionally working smiths have issues to keep up with this level of fit. that would explain a bolt not closing correctly. On the other hand, fitting such a barrel on a different R8 action...

second that, also comes with illumination, rare in a 1", best glass, I find Svaro ver well built, no issues with 1 each Z3, Z5 and Z6 1s gen in > 10 years. and on not so easy kicking rifles ( 8x68, 9.3x62)

it actually is the US bureaucracy that sinks the ship, exporting from Germany is a no brainer, I bring unrestricted brass for my 8x68 to Canada , no issue. But it is also unrestricted in Canada. In the US you need an import permit and the above mentioned export certificate. Ask site sponsor...

China, first climbed by a Canadian https://gripped.com/news/ice/christmas-tree-is-a-massive-ice-climb-in-china/

you are correct. still with the starting caliber , I would consider a 9.3x62 for rebarrelling. so much less work than a x64

Do you just want to rebarrel? the 9.3 x57 is based on the 8x57, the 376 Steyr on the 8x68 the 9.3x64 is a unique cartridge very different amount of smithing needed for a change of caliber the least amount would be to stay with 9x57 or 8x57, conversion to 9.3x62 would be minor gunsmithing and...

so many classics!

If you are considering an 8 MM Mazon, why not, for very similar if not better powder volume consider a 8 mm x 375 Ruger? You could rebarrel any 300 WINmag or 375 Ruger , Pacific Tools and Gauge will make you a reamer.

different cartridges entirely. 8-06= 8x63S in metric lingo , less volume as a 8x 64S, \ a bit of a shorter neck for all practical purposes and a bit reamer dependent. fireforming the 8x64 S from 30-06 brass is a 2 step affair as the shoulder gets blown forward a bit. shoulder is at 55.9 mm or...

forgot the 7 Rem mag in there with 145 gr LRX.... spot the belt...

preparation for 4 weeks in the northern bush, for moose, elk, deer and grouse. 9.3x375Ruger: NF 286 gr CUP, MJG 155gr and OK+170 gr ( same POI), 8x57 with 160 g TTSX, and the mighty K-hornet with 52 gr ELDM

Austrian pressure stamp on frame, so looks like a Ferlach made. Can't see a makers name anywhere.

just a couple of local comments, Aitlin had an early fire season again this year and they are in the thick of it. Even the Yukon River Qest Canoe race was halted for a fire. The year before was historic for fires. He may be dealing with disruptions to his hunting area that we have no idea off...

but the 9.3 only need arounds 60 gr...

it still has the German nitro and "verstaerkter Beschuss" proofmarks, meaning it was only restocked in GB, but rebarrelled in Germany, He, who scalloped that bolted knew nothing about the mechanics of rapid bolt cycling. good DWM actions goo for 800-1000S, 3500 $ for the wood??

Delta Bessborough or Sheraton were always good. All outfitted deer hunts are in the northern/boreal zone. No moskito spray needed after October. Dress for -10 to -30 Celsius. Bring handwarmers and heated seat pads.

Still cheap, just came across a pack of Federal DG ammo in 416 for 399$ canadian...in Victoria BC. reloading pays for the Rigby

norma brass is great, just be aware that reloading information is not exchangeable with hornady brass which is nearly 40 gr lighter per case and has larger internal volume. Hornady brass data will create higher pressure in Norma brass.

agree with above re: H110/W296, the differences in load manuals by 0.2 gr for Hornet/k-hornet is what you get with different charges of any powder. AA1680 is the best, especially for >45gr. The 52 gr AMAX seems to hold together quite well at Hornet speeds ( about 2650 fps out of my Cooper...

all modern hornets are/use 224 diameter. You'd have to get a 1950s gun or older to get a 223 bore.I use 35 gr VMAX factory ammo in a K-hornet ( fireforms well, excellent accuracy) and 52 gr bergers and TSX 45 gr in reloads. W296 is H110. I like Little gun and AA1680 best. AS I have a 222 as well...

Bc now kills more grizzlies for animal control annually than they did in the last 10 years of LEh hunting. Easy to google Bella Coola grizzly problems etc. Alas, a political decision.

Maybe piss with a skeet choke?

that is great! but you still can not ship primers?

yep, drive band bullets, I have the same for 416Rigby 255gr by GS bullets at 3300 fps and for 9.3, 155 gr at 3200 fps from 9.3x62 and 3600 fps froma 9.3x375 Ruger wildcat. great deer bullets ( and moose, blackbear etc)

sporterized military Mauser , rest as Lüderitz said.
