lawndart9.3 x 66 Sako Brass
"Hotay" says Buckwheat,
Not everyone is willing to send US$$$, or even Euros to Reimer Johannsen Gmbh Jagd in Germany to get factory brass in 9.3 x 66.
I am having a set of form dies made (well, form die). Anyone who desires lower cost brass for their 9.3 x 66 Sako is welcome to mail me any quantity (up to 200 pieces) of 30-06 basic brass, plus $10.00 USD for Shipping & Handling. I will form the brass and send it back for you to trim to length. If you want it trimmed, I can do that for $.25 per piece (i.e. I'm not really interested in doing the work, but money talks).
It is possible to hydraulically (sp?) form 9.3 x 66 Sako brass from 30-06 brass, but it will be awfully short (and 9.3 x 66 Sako brass is not noted for having a super long neck to start with).

PS This brass will be compatible with the reamer print that I have on file with Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge.
