I have three m146s . One had already been chambered to x62. None are drilled and tapped, just original, cept one other had a bad stock so i duplicated one of the good stocks to a nice english walnut blank and put a red pad on it, finished it with Dalys and alkynet root stain. Love those 146s ! Im shootin 47gr imr 4895 with 285 gr bullets and necked up ww 8mm brass
The 47gr. load mentioned above is for the 9.3x57, not the 9.3x62. I noted GSP7 necked up 8x57 brass, which is what many of us use for the M46's. 8x57 brass will NOT work for 9.3x62 - it's too short by 3/10". Almost all 146's I've noted at tradexxcanada are 9.3x62, with only a few as 9.3x57.
I use 45.0gr. H4895 (same load with 300gr.- 2,175fps) with the 285 Privi's in my M46 9.3x57 and get 2,200fps for the effort. In my rifle, it is not a maximum load as far as case web expansion dictates.
