Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Standard Mauser to .375 H&H?

zlr,

Nice work.

I agree with posters advising to use a round with a .473" case head in a std. Mauser action.

I have both the 9.3x62 and .375 H&H. There isn't enough difference to chop up a fine classic Mauser action, IMHO. Gunner500 shoots 320 gr. Woodleigh's in his 25", 9.3x62 Heym Mauser at 2,400 fps with RL-17. I report that to make this point, the 9.3x62 can be an impressive DG round, not leaving a whole lot on the table compared with the .375 H&H. (But, of course the H&H can be up loaded, too. And case capacity will win out every time.)

I picked up this 98 FN action, already with a lot of custom features and built a 9.3x62. An inexpensive but very solid stock is the B&C Medalist. Shilen makes a 9.3 barrel and when we were looking, offered the quickest turnaround time.





We turned that action into this 9.3x62.
