Daryl,

As your post implies, the rifle that is the subject of this thread is not something that a non-handloader would want to own.

The non-handloader should buy a Merkel or Chapuis chambered in 9.3x74R and forget any notion of stuffing shells in a black powder antique.

Jack,

Don't overlook Varget. It is quite useful in some N-for-B loads, although it doesn't work in all of them.
