I see that Sako makes rilfes and ammunition for it. I believe the case head of the x66 is like or akin to the 06.
I know that Sako doesnt import it to the states,
but still, This one would be a real winner.
I find the x66 length brass ideal in many applications. 6.5 to the 9.3.

The 9,3 x 66 was designed to hold 4 shots in the T3 magazine.

We will probably be able to get them

I've red a few articles about it. Performance seems to duplicate the old 9.3x64. The accuracy in the tests haven't been impressing. I don't see any need of it even if it is a good cartridge.

Here in Sweden will it not be popular because the 9.3x62 is already established. And if any one needs a faster 9.3 the classic 9.3x64 probably is the choice because RWS will make brass a long time forward!

I just returned from the range after testing the new 9,3x66 Sako. A sako-beretta representative had a local promotion day.
FYI the new cartridge is a standard 06 type case 66 mm long with a short neck thus increasing the case volume.
Sako offers four loads; 250 grs Nosler SB at 2755 fps, 286 grs Hammerhead at 2560 fps, 286 grs Barnes X at 2540 fps and a 286 Barnes solid at 2560 fps.
This sounds pretty useful to me. But going to Africa with it means a lot of prayers that the ammo bag arrives..like with a wildcat.

The rifle was a stainless 75 model with a godawful gray plastic-rubber stock and an even worse muzzlebrake. Push-fed.
You could fire it all day if it wasn�t for the irritating blast of the brake in your face. I�d take the recoil any day.

But what made me happy was that the sales rep told me they will make a 416 with the classic safari stock and controlled feed, like on the anniversary .375 H&H model. Somebody�s using his wits at Sako!

Anybody know where you can buy Sako factory ammo in the USA?
