Some brands – except RWS – of common (outside America) 9.3x62 brass are even better for reforming to 9.5x57 M-Sch than scarce (outside USA) .35 Whelen.

Very interesting about the European 9.3 vs its U.S. counterparts, unfortunate about .35 Whelen scarcity in Europe.

The Whelen that I have used was (fresh) Remington - Peters and went through easily with a single pass, leaving proper shoulders and neck.

Does anyone recall offhand which expanders Vintage Canvas would need to work .30-'06 to the .375 neck? It's been posted previously.

If available in SA, there's this: https://www.qual-cart.com/



More expensive than 'pick up brass', but properly sized and headstamped.

I use a 44 mag. expander with a slightly more tapered nose, or a .45 colt expander with tapered nose, to expand .30/06 out straight - one pass. Inside lube with Imperial or other good case lube.
This even worked with brass that had been fired as .30/06 a few times. I then use the FL die to neck them back down partially, trim to length, then neck all the way for proper headspace. This was when forming .30/06 brass to 9.3x62 or .375/06IMP.
Same process.

This has been shown on here several times now. I no longer have a photo upload site, so it will not be shown yet another time.
