Anyone here did any 376 Steyr based wildcats? Most interested in 284-338 dia.

4D has a 30 cal.
30/376

Otherwise it's a weird evolutionary dead end, goofy overall length, and goofy case head size. Since it's kinda a wildcat itself of the 9.3x64, maybe Europeans have played around with it?

seen several.. if you lengthened the case and necked it to 424, it would interesting.. oh, wait, 10,75x68 .. its not a unique case

I was tempted several years ago to build an 8mm/376, goodness knows why other than I had an 8mm barrel & it seemed as it would be interesting. I soon saw sense & figured it wouldn't do much more than a 8mm-06 & less than a 7mm Rem mag necked up to 8mm, both of which would be better from the point of view of brass & die availability. Still got that 8mm barrel & a part box of .376 cartridges, I've swopped out most of the rest with mates for their cartridge collections.

One wildcat caliber from 9,3x64 is 8mm Mazon:

the 9.3x64 is a different case than the 10,75x68

Yes but .376 Steyr basic case is 9,3x64

I have often thought this would be interesting without the rim in a short action.



40-70 SBN

There used to be old european caliber 10,75x57 (.404 bullet) with rimless case.

you are correct, I was wrong - thank you for making me think and then verifying case

Yes, I have custom Husqvarna m98 in 9,3x64 and my friend has custom Howa in .376 Steyr.

7mm Sundance is the 376 Steyr necked down to .284/7mm.
