Anybody see any problems with this conversion? Rechamber, open up bolt a little, adjust feed rails. Am I missing anything? What about barrel twist rate?

That's pretty much it. Twist should be fine. Loaded to the same pressures your gain would be like going from a 30-06 to 308 Norma or 280 to 7mag. I.E. 125-200FPS gain.

It won't kill anything any deader but if you are wanting a few extra FPS go for it.

bolt face, feeding, reamer... but little gain

My My My, most of the time I see folks around here (AR) doing everything they can to squeeze every last FPS out of everything they can get.

You are confusing me with someone else.

While the majority of my rifles are Imp cases of my own design I no longer see a reason to fight for every FPS. I spent a lot of time playing and testing case design for the first 20+ years of my reloading life. In all my years of hunting I never ran across a situation where 100FPS made a difference.

If someone wants a wildcat or rechamber from 9.3X62 to a 64 then I support them 100%. It will give them something to do and talk about but it won't really make real differnce.

My opinion and a couple $ will buy a cup of coffee.

Variety is the spice of life! It's about time
we began to appreciate the little quirks of
fellow gun loonies rather than disparage them.

It will make our gun lobby more effective and
create more unity within our fractured circles!

It's not about whether the rest of us see any value in what someone is doing. It's the fact he has the right to do it. Let's keep it that way!

I disagree.

The .30-06 is the one true path; all other calibers will simply lead you to eternal damnation. Except for the .375 H&H, of course. And maybe the 6.5x55...No! No! See what happens?

The fact that you sucker people into paying you for this type of minimal gain jeff. Is a testament to how stupid people are.

Sledder,
you arguement doesn't really stand, does it, in fact, 150s is about the MOST difference between commerical rounds.. and if those gains are "so dumb" why aren't we all still shooting the 8x57/??

all this use ABOUT 150.. 100 is also "about".. and 150 is ABOUT the most you get with ackley improved rounds.

the 30-30 loads within ABOUT 150 fps of the 30-40krag which is within 150 fps of the 300 savage, which is within 150 fps the 308 WHICH IS 150FPS SLOWER than the 30-06 (talk about "dumb" in your book) which is within 150 fps of the 300HH , which is within 150 fps of the 300 win/308 norma/30-338 which is within 150 of the 300 weatherby, ...

So, let's see...
7x30 which is within 150 fps of the 7x57 which is within 150fps of the 708, which is within 150 fps of the 280/7mm brennke/284 winchester, which is within 150fps 7rem, which is within 150fps of the 7x61sh which is within 150 fps of the 7 weatherby, which is within 150 fps of the 7 STW

or, the 45/70 which is within 150 fps of the 45/120, which is within 150 fps of the 450 marlin, which is within 150 fps of the 458winmag which is within 150 fps of the 458 lott, which is within 150 fps of the 460 weatherby

this goes on and on and on...

Or, to put a fine point on it, if you are shooting anything other than the 8x57 or 30/30 you too are falling into the same "dumb people" trap of commericialism that you are pointing a finger at everyone else.

I would get a 9,3X64 Brenneke, it's running along the 375H&H and fits nicely in a standard mauser action

Johan, you make a good point. That means the Whelan and the 6.5 and the .223 all need to go and I should then buy new in .30. Or, would it be better to keep everything and buy a new rifle in 30-30, cause I don't have one now. I like that idea. Course, the Persian I have in 8x57 will need a scope mount and long eye relief scope (I have bubbasized a few, but not this one). Yep, I been telling the ole lady I needed a new gun and now I have proof. Thanks.
