Chalk up another fan of the Husky Mod. 46 in 9.3 X 57. I don't know if Iowa_303 remembers but he was instrumental in my choosing one and sent me the link to the one I eventually purchased from Simpsons, Ltd. For something less than $300 I was amazed at what I got. I like it every bit as much as my Sauer & Sohn 98 in 9 X 57. It hasn't displaced my preference for my 1903 or 1908 Mannlicher'Schoenauer's but it isn't for sale either. Iowa, I'm grateful, thank you!

I should probably go measure things before I post but I was able to make cast bullets work just fine in my rifle. I use an Accurate mold of around 270 grs., gas checked and sized at .372. I don't remember the exact throat dimension but know it was typically tight. I used Lake City 30-06 brass to make my first cases and by thinning the necks was able to achieve enough room for the bullet to comfortably release. What I unfortunately don't remember is the neck thickness when finished. I want to remember it was .010 or a little better. I can't imagine I would have gone any less. Remington -06 brass also worked fine. The powder is IMR-4895. Without looking I don't remember the charge weight but strangely do remember velocity being around 1800 fps. The bullet shot nearly as well as the Prvi Partizan 286 gr. jacketed bullets. For me the real treat is that it shot to the sights. Gratefully my rifle has not been mucked with by someone adding a means of mounting a scope.
