Outstanding OP. That's a dream gun for me. I love my CZ, but 286 woodleighs from a Garand en bloc would be a dreamsicle!
250gr Nosler accubonds remain supersonic past 1200 yards and have a very nice BC for such a fat bullet and can run in the 2550-2600fps range from a bolt gun. To those not knowing, the 9.3 requires no bolt mods and little if any mods to OAL for the cartridge to fit a Shuster nut for the gas system should make it work well without beating the action. |

55.0 grains of H4895 with a 286 grain bullet will produce about 2300 fps. |

I'm really excited because I have most of the parts ready to go.
As soon as everything arrives, I will install the barrels and since they are already finish reamed, I won't need a pull through reamer. I have a set of headspace guages coming and once headspace is verified, I will be on my way. I intend to use Breda receiver BMR 61 together with a Breda bolt. I have a new old stock Beretta gas cylinder assembly, all of the internal parts and a trigger group. I just need a stock set and an operating rod. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will the barrel diameter support a stock gas cylinder? And I guess everything else will be relatively standard as long as you have a Schuster gas plug? Will the handguards still fit over the barrel? I can’t wait to see this finished! It also uses a standard gas cylinder assembly. The 9.3x62 operates at the same pressures as .30-06 and the 9.3x62 is actually based on the .30-06 case.  Cracking a Safe With an Elephant Gun |
