Re: Pre WW1 German double rifle retailed by Weisgerber

Axel,
As a;ways, a great explanation and clarification. Your pictures are worth thousands of words.

John,
I read the 360 BPE was developed from the 9.3x72R. I read that there is some augument as to which came first so perhaps the 9.3 is an elongated 360.

Regardless, they are basically the same cartridge except the 360 is 2.25" long and the 9.3 is 2.835" long. There are several cartridges that use the 9.3x72R as a basis. I had a nice kipplauf in 8x72R. I have another in 9.0x72R.

The cartridge (particularly in nitro form) is similar to a 35 Rem which was a highly regarded deer and black bear cartridge, bothg being much larger than roe deer. Like any cartridge, shot placement is important.

Perpahs Axel can elaborate on the use of the 9.3x72R.
