Thanks guys. I was not intending to use .30-06 brass, just commenting that none of it seems anywhere near .473", anyway. I tried my home-made tool for inserting a bump ahead of the shoulder and it does work up to a point. However, once the bullet is seated the neck is expanded again, so I suppose something more formidable than a brassy-looking Dynabolt might be needed to make a bigger bump. | |||

factory 06 brass shot in the 9,3x62 chamber bulges the head of the case, you then must neck size only to keep from over working the brass but after x number of neck resizing it will no longer feed and its time to full length resize the brass again, at this point the brass tends to split or separate, usually on 4th neck resize or less, working that bump is not a good idea and its worisome and a pain to deal with. If you want to use 30-06 brass or its "get" chamber your gun to a 9.3x06..and give up some velocity,, Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

That sounds encouraging, Ray, assuming you're saying proper 9.3x62 brass really is bigger in the head than the rim, unlike the Winchester stuff I've had so far. I'm looking for some PPU brass, which I will extend in the shoulder, if needed, to save the web. | |||

I shoot PPU brass right out of the box in my Husqvarna 98 MAUSER, made in Sweeden, a 57 punched out to 62. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

100% correct ! The 30-06 base dimensions and 9.3x62 are not the same though we all used to McGiver cases from the 30-06 ! I did the same with the 315 WR ! | |||

Paul - expand the neck to a larger cal then size the neck down enough to just chamber. You should have formed a secondary shoulder, which when fired will blow the shoulder forward to better fit your chamber. This really needs to be done at the first firing. | |||

I used to shoot 06 ammo in the 35 Whelen and the 338-06 to fireform and it was suggested by the magazine experts...The problem in many cases is that occasional brass case that blows for whatever reason and makes tough guys call for their mommies!  1 Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Sorry guys, I've been away for a few weeks and then my tablet went haywire, so I couldn't get back to AR. I fixed my Zastava problem with big Norma brass and a Dynabolt but, having related the story in both the Reloading and DIY forums, won't go through it again here. Yes JFE, the cases need to be fixed before the first firing. Ironically, all my reloads were only partially FL resized and always fitted tightly in the chamber - trouble was the factory-load cases had been ruined on the first shot but I hadn't realised it.

Bought 300 pieces of new brass yesterday. Now to have a rifle built  . Or get lucky enough to find a stainless CRF left handed one for sale.My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

For anyone interested, I tried some Cerrosafe with satisfying results - the chamber's neck is good and long, meaning I won't have to trim the cases for some time. In regard to saving primers etc, I'm quite happy to go hunting with the cases as initially stretched, without needing to fire-form them first and reload again first. I've related the details in the Reloading and DIY forums. | |||
