Thanks for posting your 8x68 Mauser and the trophy-baboons...all looked great..

IF you really need a 9.3x64 for the job....your .416rigby will do it better

9.3x62

Gidday Guys,

Personally I don't give a great rats where the cartridges came from as long as they drop whatever I aim them at. They all seem pretty efficient at that.

Can't seem to get my head around short fat chicks or cartridges though, whether they come from the States or Europe.

Happy Hunting

Have a 9.3x62 CZ American 550, my only Euro cal.

But also have a .22 Hornet (CZ), .30-'06 M70 Lt Sporter, .22LR AR-7.

I have two European calibers that I use, 6.5x55 and .375H&H.

A 7x57 (Euro) is something every shooter should have in the safe and mine is kept company by a 404,(Brit) 20VT (yank), 6.5 GM (my own wildcat-so NZ) and a Lott being another yank so a little accross the board representation.

Euro cal. : 7x64, 9,3x62, 9,3x74R, 7,5x55

U.S. cal : .22 LR, .222 Rem, .270 Win, .30-06, .300 Win Mag, .308 Win

I shot a Ruger #1 in 7x57 for many years but now my favorite is an FN 98 in 6.5x55. It has a Walther/Lother tight necked barrel (.292") so all the brass has to be neck turned. But... Vh150 powder and Sierra 120gr Mk's will produce 10 shot groups inside of a nickle at 200 yards.
I'm sorry to say that last year the #1 was rebarreled to 405 Win. It's alot of fun but the 7x57 will sorely be missed.

Joe

I have both.

I have American cartridges;

8mm Mauser

7mm Mauser

358 Winchester

and 280 Remington

And I have european chamberings;

8X57

275 Rigby

9X51

and 7X63..

I´ve added a .240Wea + a .378Wea since the start of this thread.

Looking foreward to have added a M1886 .50/110 Express + a 9,3x70DWM next time someone revive this thread in 6 years time

I guess I lived in Europe too long but I really like the medium, easy shooting Euro calibers...and they get the job done with great efficiency.
