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!?

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.
