Any smiths out there capable of chambering my barrel to 10.75x68...and tweeking the feed, its an FN.....

Ray

Have you checked with Dennis Olson? I'm assuming you have but thought I would ask.

What the hell, you got another one!
Can you send me some loading data for the '68?? I think Suzie likes the gun!

Lb.404,
Nope, can't even find a reamer to make one up...I'll let you know if I can find one...I forgot to send data, damn.....will get right on that...

For now:

Horneber brass
Fed. 210 Primers

74 grs. WW748 400 gr. Woodleigh 2138 FPS
Soft or solid..............

63 grs. IMR-4064 400 gr. Woodliegh 1972 FPS

58 grs AR2207(H4198) 400 gr. woodleigh 2152



64 grs. H335 350 gr. BarnesX, and Bridger flatnose solid 2375 FPS

58 grs. IMR-4198 350 gr. bullet 2411 FPS

60 grs. AR 2207(H4198) 350 bullet 2404 FPS

66 grs. IMR-4064 350 bullet 2191 FPS

That ought to hold you until the load data, articles etc. get there...

Is there any advantage to building a 10.75 x 68 over a 404 Jeffery?

The 10.75 x 68 fits in a standard Mod. 98 box and looks like it will feed without much, if any, rail work, the bolt face will need to be opened a tad....

Advantage?? who knows, I,m just having fun with a neat old caliber that the more I play with it the better I like it, otherwise we'd all be shooting a 375 and a 416 Remington..Wow!, talk about hell on earth, everyone shooting such mundane calibers...What would we fight about?

I need one too (a 10.75x68 reamer, that is)!!

I'm too cheap to spend the $180 to have the reamer made when I'm only going to use it one time...

Ray,
I don't forgot your interest in the 10,75x68 mauser a friend of mine has.

Tonight I arrenged a meeting with him and I will take a close look to the rifle.

I will let you know.

My favourite load is the 347 grs RNSN from Woodleigh, with a powder charge of 66grs Rottweil R902.
It will duplicate the original RWS datas.



The group is shoot on 100m with a 9x scope.

Ray: It might be worth giving Martini and Hagn in Cranbrook a call. I'm sorry, I've misplaced their number but I think you can get it from the ACGG site.

Could you show a closeup and possibly the other side of that scope mount?

What kind is it?

Thanks,

JIm Brockman said if he could get 3 jobs for 10.75 x68 that he would buy a reamer....

Dennnis Olson can rent a reamer, as can anyone it appears...

Problem solved...

Mike,
it´s the original EAW (Ernst Appel) side mount with double lever release.
I have no picture from the other side, only this one from right.
