Hey!

Does anyone know where I can find more info on this caliber? in books or internett.

Have anyone in this forum any experience with this caliber...history, recoil?, anything?



I hope you people can help a norwegian, who wants this as a mooserilfe



The rilfe i have on hand is a original mauser 98 with "hookmounting" and a old german scope.

Hi
Try post the question on the cartridge collecting forum and I'm sure your will get answers for at least some of your questions.

I'm sure it will make a great moose calliber though.

Good luck

I have owned a 10.75x68 and its a fine caliber with proper bullets...It is, in most cases, a .423 bore rifle the same as the 404 Jefferys. It will duplicate the original 404 loadings of a 400 gr. bullet at 2100 FPS...It was a dandy loaded with the BarnesX 350 gr. bullet at 2375 FPS...

It has been produced by many guild gun makers, and mine was a JP Sauer...The problem I had was with Bertram brass, but now Horneber makes brass and Huntington carries that...so its a neat caliber..

It never was very popular in Africa as the bullets of that day were less than desirable and tended to blow up....but today thats a different story...I still have about 6 boxes of old Kynoch ammo for the 10,75...

It can be built up on any standard action...

Here's 2 original 10.75 Mausers I bought in your part of the world. Check with www.midwayusa.com, they have the components on sale. I got my dies from www.ch4d.com.

Best place for info on cartridges is Cartridges of the World. Pick up a copy, you'll be happy you did.
