Sirs:
I have just bought my last 9,3x62(Ihave three of them) , is a beautiful and in nearly mint condition Husqvarna with an action that I think is a mauser 96.
In a mauser obendorff that I have I load 250 gr bt with 60,5 gr Rel 15 obtaining 2515 fps with good agrupation.
Do you think that the Huskie could tollerate same or more loads than the obendorff( the other rifle I have is a Sauer 202 , a more strengh action I think)?
Thanks in advance to all
Gtrotz

According to my records, all of the OLD Husky 9.3x62 rifles were made on the FN Mauser action, and called the Model 146, or something like that. If your 9.3x62mm has the FN action I do not see any reason why you cannot load the round up to its maximum potential, a la the Oberndorf. Of course, I have read of a few M1896 actions being chambered for 9.3x62 as well. I'd be a little careful if you have a M96, which was supposed to be a Husky M46 model.

The later model Husky 96's were strong. They were chambered in much higher prtessure rounds than the 9.3x62.

Do a search on this there are some very good detailed threads already posted on this in the last few months.

I wouldn't be worried about sane loads in a 1950's Husky. All cautions should be observed, working up loads until pressure signs are seen, then backing off on charges. If your using basic precautions I see no reason to be concerned.

Above is all based on athe presumtion that we are both talking about a serviceable rifle in good working order.

Thanks for your answers.
Is not my intention to load heavy loads in that rifle that is just like new.
I will go on with the same loads I use in the obendorf starting 10% down.
Sincerely
Gtrotz

Schromf's got it right. The supply of 98s dried up during WWII and Husqvarna made many high pressure rounds on strong 96 actions until FN ramped up production. Shortly after that they developed their 1640 action. Remember, all of them regardless of model were made with damn fine Swedish steel.

Other companies like Stiga did the same. I have a minty Stiga 9.3 x 62 on a 96 action.
