    Want To Buy 7mm 160gr or 175gr bullets - Swift A-Frame or Northfork

    I agree. As long as you have a caliber or better seating depth you’re good. You can start with 15-20 thou JTL and increase by 5 thou until find what the rifle likes best. Subsequently the magazine length (max) is usually the determiner of where I start my bullet seating AS LONG AS the magazine...

    Want To Buy 7mm 160gr or 175gr bullets - Swift A-Frame or Northfork

    Rookhawk, when I was developing loads for the 7x57 using NF 160 gr SS my data was 48.0 gr IMR4831 (velocity Ave of 2,572) with a COAL of 3.125” ( I had PacNor do a long throat). This yielded a 0.7” group.

    When loading the 500 Jeffery is a filler (foam plug) needed?

    I see that now , I’m loading 570’s & 600’s so it looks like no filler wad is required

    Identifying this Mauser and the cartridge it takes

    Actually some of the material did get into the bore (rifling marks were on it). My smith measured that and it was right at 8.75-8.77 mm

    NEEDING QUALITY BRASS AND BULLETS FOR A 9.3X62

    North Fork has both the 286 gr Cup Point solid and Flat point solid in stock now. The cup points are drivers with a very good wound channel since they expand slightly.

    Rookhawk, I’ve got load data or the 160 grain SS when I loaded for that cartridge. I’ll send you what I have this evening. As far as a “compare to” manual I have used the Swift manual and Woodleigh manuals with good results.

    North Fork Premium Hunting Bullets

    Spot on - NF designs the tapered jacket thickness to expand according to normal-for-caliber velocities at normal impact ranges. This enhances the overall performance for the best results. You don’t have to be super fast to be super good !

    Here are a few recovered North Fork SS (soft nose type) bullets from various calibers (.416, .458, and I think one of these is a .423). Weight retention is 96% and up. Shots have ranged from frontal all the way around to hard quartering away angles, results are the same. These are also bore...

    North Fork Premium Hunting Bullets

    The 400 gr, .423 caliber NF Percussion Point worked exactly as designed on my leopard. Rapid controlled expansion at its finest! Pictured is the exit wound. The PP (percussion point) is absolutely perfect for the cats. Thank you @North Fork Technologies for the best bullet money can buy.

    This was the cast , do you have dimensions of a 9x56ms ?

    Yes sir, I’m going to rebarrel this rifle anyhow. I think it will be a great 318WR.

    It’s the “unknown 9x57”

    Identifying this Mauser and the cartridge it takes

    Mine looks like that also - the photo I took was at a little different angle. It was an exhausting day and I didn’t take a true “apples to apples” photo.

    Identifying this Mauser and the cartridge it takes

    You were correct - it’s a plain Jane 9x57 rimless. The bolt face measured 0.484” and the shoulder mic was 0.428” Thank you for your input on this !
  44. SkullKeeper

    Identifying this Mauser and the cartridge it takes

    The bolt face measured 0.484” best I could tell (and my 30-06 bolt face measured that as well)- so it’s not a rimmed cartridge. The shoulder mics at 0.437/0.438” . Thanks for your knowledge and insight on this !

    Identifying this Mauser and the cartridge it takes

    John, I’m sorry to say the bolt face on this measures 0.484 as best I can get - so it’s the rimless 9x57. My gunsmith who cast the bore didn’t have the bolt so it seemed like a rimmed cartridge to him. To me it’s strange but there was a distinct recessed ring area at the start of the chamber in...
