Can this be easily done? I have a source for nice Husky 9.3 x 57's.

shouldn't be a problem from a re-chamber stand point. I would also make sure the action was up to the task. Magbox, strength, etc.

a husky 36 action? they've built x62s on them from the factory, as well as 270wins.

The answer is yes and no. Some of the early Husky's had oversized chambers. As a result 9.3x62 reamer may not clean it up. Best to have a chamber cast done first to be sure. Later models seem to have tighter chambers and should be fine.

I wonder if anyone has made a 9.3 gibbs, or would the neck be too short

I haven't made a 9.3Gibbs However I have made a 375PDK, 400PDK & .416PDK.

Using a 9.3x62 case the neck would be about .21" an 06 case would just get you .23. A 62 is already .451 at the shoulder compared to a Gibbs of .453.

I build my wildcat on a 280 case. My case has a .46 40 deg shoulder and gains a little capacity over the Gibbs

Easiest way would be just do a 9.3x66. This is a quick drawing of the 9.3X62, 9.3X66. 9.3PDK and then a 9.3Gibbs using the 62 case the neck would be right at .25" would be a little longer with an 06 case. The 9.3X66 still theeasiest to go and there will be factory ammo the 370SakoMag.
