Old Drillings still Hunters???
      17/06/04 05:22 AM

Is it ok to shoot the old drillings in the 9.3x72r caliber?
There were no blackpowder 9.3x72r cartridges were there?Will the barrel steel become weak with age on these older drillings?By old i mean 1900-1935???Rabbit ears cockers..
I shot one with old rws ammo & the primer blew!
Can the primer get weak from age?
I want to shoot the S&B ammo but just dont know when the cut off date is on shooting old drillings.
Do the factories keep these old timers in mind when they loadem?I had a local smith looker over & he says she looks fine to go??
Any one know of makeing her into a smaller bore?
You guys got any old drilling tales??Are they still good game getters now or just need to be put out to pasture???
Whats your thoughts -shoot-not shoot???
