I am amazed no one is interested in this case at 2900 fps for a 286 grain slug????

The 9.3 x 70 DWM is indeed a very interesting caliber. When I started having a classic custom Mauser made up 4 years ago, it was one of the calibers I had in mind....but it lost to the
.333 Jeffery, which I haven`t regretted.
IF I one day should have a 9.3x70 made up, I have thought it should be an "African Special" with a looong barrel and all the things that would be period of time correct features.

Hi I am located in London and is waiting for my project rifle also in a 9.3 x 70 but the difference is that the parent case is a 338 lapua so I can get very good quality brass as a starting point. I am also a customer of Mr Moller and will be using his heads once the rifle is ready which is targeted for end of May 2008. technically it is a 9.3. x 70 however it should be described as a 9.3-338 Lapua Magnum

The 333 caliber is hard to beat! I too would love the long barreled 9.3X70mm maybe a 27 inch like the original.
