Re: Tell me about the 9.3x64R

This looks like a really nice set. Indeed the 16 7x65r barrels are very useful all round, especially with a 22 Hornet insert.

I would want to double check on the cartridge of the Double Rifle advertised as 9.3x64R. It may be, but as Joel Dorleac suggests it may well be a misprint. The 9.3x74R is a very useful big game cartridge. It’s not a 375 H&H, but its not far off, and with the correct bullet it could pretty much do what a 375 H&H can do up to 100, 150 yards. Probably not ideal for grumpy Buffalo, but more than adequate for big large animals. Exception would be when you want to take a long 200+ shot, which is a magazine 375H&H comes in as the perfect allrounder.

Brenneke did develop the 9.3x64 as a German equivalent of the 375 H&H. Most of his cartridges eg the 7x64 have a rimmed sister cartridge. But like many on here, haven’t seen or read about a Rimmed 9.3x64.

There is a good article https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/9.3x64+Brenneke.html

I have just had a look through the CIP listed cartridges, which includes German cartridges. There is listed a 9.3x72r and a 9.3x74r but no 9.3x64R. https://bobp.cip-bobp.org/en/tdcc_public?page=3&cartridge_type_id=2

But there is 9.3x64 - https://bobp.cip-bobp.org/uploads/tdcc/tab-i/tabical-en-page70.pdf

So in conclusion, this is incorrectly described. I would suggest it is a 9.3x74r as this would fit in same frame size as the 16/7x65R.

But it could be chambered for the 9.3x64 rimless cartridge. As said above - I would check before bidding.
