Gentlemen,

While Elk hunting in Eastern Oregon, I came across a guy who had built a 9.3WSM wildcat. He said he hasn't worked up a lot of loads, but it is easy to get about midway between the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x64, which is not a bad place to be. It hits hard, but doesn't overstress the bullets. So far his only game taken with it has been a nice 4x4 mule deer and a 250 lb. black bear. Both were one-shot kills. He is going to send me the drawings and specs for the reamer and dies that he had made.

I also saw a CZ 550 9.3x62 that had been reamed and modified to 9.3x64. It seemed like a nice and easy conversion. Anyone else tried this?

Joel,
I have done just that, have my CZ550 in 9.3x62 rechambered to 9.3x64. Wells Sports Store in Prescott did the metal work including rebluing to a matte finish. I had ebony grip and end caps added and the stock refinished. Nice, accurate rifle with not a large investment. Cobalt
