I was given some brass and bullets, and I am fresh out of anything 9,3X72R.
I would prefer a cape gun or BBF.

Thanks, Bray...
I just pulled the trigger on a like new Simson mdl 95 drilling in 7X65R and 16ga. My budget just got busted.

How much do you want for the brass/bullets ??
I am sick of paying $80 a box for S&B...

I made a swaging die to bump 35 remington (speer 180 gr)bullets up to .365. They expand nicely and are very accurate. Most of them have pretty slow twists too which favor the shorter bullets. One I shoot most has a 1:16 twist A fun round to shoot.. when they cost you @40 cents a round

Any good powder for a 30-30 will work well in the 9,3X72R.
I load 42gr IMR 30-31 under 193gr jacketed bullets. Bray's solution to bullets is a GREAT one if you plan to shoot it a bit.
I also load 15gr of Trail Boss under the .365 95gr bullets for the Makarov. It's a great plinker and small game load.

I do the same thing (haven't tried the trail boss powder yet, but I will). The POI will be different at over 25 yards or so for most guns. I sometimes take my old hammer drilling loaded with these and a 22lr einstecklauf in the right 16 barrel squirrel hunting. Have nailed quite a few with the makarov pills. Fun walk in the woods between deer & turkey seasons .
