I�ve seen data on the new Sako cartridge in 9,3x66, wich will propell a 286 grain bullet at around 780m/s, and a 250 grain bullet at around 840m/s. What do you think of this?? Is it a new way of doing something the 375H&H always have done or is it something worth thinking about!?

I don't know if it will become popular but looks good on paper

Does anyone have any more information on this 9.3x66. Is it sort of a stretched 9.3x62? Ballistics appear to be between the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x64.

Gentlemen

The 9,3X66 is a streched 9,3X62. I guess the niche is allready filled with the 9,3X64 that has been around for a long time.

I woul much rather have 9,3X64 than the new sako. I', surprised that no other ammo maker has brought up the 9,3X64 on it's list [Roll Eyes]

Would it be possible to ream my 9,3x62 to a 66 version, or is the Husqvarna 1640 too short to handle the length??

Yes, it's possible to ream 9,3x62 to 9,3x66 Sako. Bolt's head doesn't need any modification. Overall length of 66Sako is 85 mm and it should fit the same action as x62 do. Magazines might need some modification. I don't know Husqvarna so well, that I can say for sure, that it would be possible with your rifle.
I have shot few rounds 9,3x66s. It was pleasent to shoot, maybe because that Sako had muzzle brake.

There is some discussion about x66 in the European hunting forum.
