| It's possible. It may work.
It's not recommeded.
The .30-06 cases are undersized for the conversion.

| If Graf's is shipping in October, don't bother. At the same time, you should probably form a few just to make sure you know how. Search this board and you'll find plenty of information on forming 9.3x62 cases.

| Yes it is possible. Start with new -06 cases (you'll lose less that way) and swage up. Someone mentioned using 35 Whelen brass instead, which I think is an even better idea, but it wasn't available when I did this. Anyway, once the neck is opened up, use 9.3 X 57 or 9.3 X 62 starting loads; and fireform. After that you'll have usable brass, but I would keep the loads low, compare the two cases side by side and you'll see why. I never had a problem with any any of the cases I made (except occasionally losing one in the process, necks would collapse), but I do feel better using factory brass for this. The base of the 06 case is smaller then the 9.3 X 62, so it swells quite a bit there. Never had a problem there though, it just looked weird. FWIW - Dan |

| I full length resize 06 brass trim to maximun 9.3x62 length use a load a couple of grains under starting loads and fireform the cases end up a touch short of trim length but i haven't lost any cases yet I will not load the formed cases to hot I just use them untill my lapua cases arrive |

| thanks to all for the replies and sorry about the delay responding. i've decided to just use proper 9.3x62 brass. but i will try to reform a few, mainly because i've never done it before. again...thanks...bud |
