I would think these PSI loads would be safe in a Rem 750 or M7400 barrelled to 9.3x62?

Would the 9.3/286's feed and function in the auto??

Brainstorming a re-barreled Rem auto with a 21" barrel and a stock shortened to 13".

(I have access to a inexpensive Rem 7400 in 06)



I am in the midst of rebarreling two rifles, a 760 and a 7600 to 9.3X62, just for fun! smile

Had an inexpensive 742 in 30-06 that I stared down that road with, but changed direction. Besides all the extra work, I am just not much of a semi-auto guy.

I can tell you that the 742 fed a full mag of 286 gr Lapua Mega round nose into the chamber mouth just fine.

They would not go all the way, of course, but went far enough that I am convinced they would have gone all the way home if it were a '62 chamber.

Keep us posted on your project,
