Re: 8*72R...some information

Quote:
According to CotW - developed by Sauer from the 9.3x72R. Uses .323 bullets with RWS loads listed as 150gr @ 2334fps; 170gr @ 2240fps; and 225gr @ 1900fps.
Sellier & Bellot have a current factory load with a 193 grain bullet.
Probably a useful moderate range deer rifle....
Lots of nonsense in COTW then!
This cartridge was definitely only made with .318 bullets!
Other sources say it was developed by Wilhelm Brenneke.
The "current S&B load" will probably be 9.3x72R.
