Shot The New 9,3X62 Today
29/01/06 08:10 AM

I had an opportunity to shoot my new to me Husqvarna 640 series circa 1952 on FN 98 action in 9,3X62 this morning. I loaded up some 285gr Previ bullets and Graf & Sons brass with R-15 to about 2,250fps for the first firing. The gun came with a 1" ring sidemount that mounts the scope about 1" high directly over the receiver to allow adaquate use of the iron sights. It comes right back to zero with the now properly indexed QD levers.Since the mount has rear windage screws, I mounted my Helsoldt 4X32 Diasta elevation only adjustment scope with German #4 thats been sitting around for a while, looking for the right rifle. The scope looks just right on this rifle...same vintage.

After several shots to get well into the paper, I fired a 100 yard 3 shot group that measured one inch

with very mild pressure. I'll up this load to duplicate the 2,360 factory specs if it doesn't compromise accuracy. I also need to glass the action, since these older Husqvarna hardwood stocks break and split all too often. I have a Timney trigger sitting in a drawer somewhere that will finish off the set up...might drop in a single set trigger later. I have a couple of 95% inletted stocks shaped as classic German sporters cluttering a closet, so I have a project for my old age.

Is anyone interested in an almost new Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whalen with an additional Rem synthetic stock, 3X9 Burris in Talley QD Mounts, RCBS dies, a bunch of brass (much is new), and some bullets? The rifle is in excellent condition? I did glass the original walnut stock.

As I like my 9,3X74R rifles so much, I thought this would give me a similar bolt rifle that could be bumped up just a bit from the X74R and used with 320 Woodleighs for buffalo.

Any suggestions on Pet Loads will be greatly appreciated.
