My guess is you'll like both of them. I have a Husqvarna 46 in 9.3x57 and am loading some of the old Norma 286 grain round nose. I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet on game. but expect it will work fine. The load runs right at 2150-2200 and very accurate. I'll have to check when I get home from the slope to see what powder I used. It was either 4985 or 3031.

I read over on Nitro Express you're thinking of a carbine for the 57. That should make a great close cover, dark timber elk rifle. Having seen many of your finished rifles I know both your 9.3s will be spectacular.

I'll look forward to seeing them when you're done.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
