I finally broke down and bought my first double. A Chapuis 9.3 x 74R. If all goes well I might take it to Zim this September. http://forums.accuratereloadin...2711043&m=3641055901 I hope to get it before Friday.

I need to buy brass. Graff's has Norma. I see that Rusty thinks Norma is too soft. Any preferences for other types of brass? Where can I find it? I see that Hornady is out of stock just about everywhere I look. What about reloading dies? Is neck sizing the way to go with this cartridge? Do sure 'nuff hunting loads need to be full length sized? Any other advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

RAC, I'd buy a couple of boxes of RWS or Hornady ammo, and see how it shoots in your rifle, then reload the brass. RWS brass is very good brass too. Maybe Hornady will come accross with another run of 9.3X74R brass shortly

congrats on your purchase... ive been shooting s&b 286gr sp's... factory stuff i picked up at cabela's for $33/box.... a couple yrs before i got my chaupuis......i picked up a set of rcbs dies here on AR for $40/shipped.... and i havent loaded for it yet...

Norma brass will usually seperate on the third firing in my Chapuis.

Next time I reload I will try some Hornady and some RWS.
