Re: My new Husqvarna 146

That Norma ammo, if standard for Norma, is really slow and no better than a .35 Remington.
It is loaded to 35,000CIP(copper crusher), 285/6 at 2,050fps.

My model 96 made 2,200fps with 293's and 2,175fps with sized down 300's - VERY easily without any pressure signs at all. Cases barely expanded over FL sized size.

The pressure for the Normal stuff is so low, that if the rifle has excessive headspace, the case will not re-seat a protruding primer.

Good brass, though. I used RP 8x57 brass, necked up then down and fireformed - works well.

The 98 actions seem to have better quality control on headspace.



These are some .375" bullets I sized down for my 9.3x57.
