85mm is only 3.346" The standard for the 30-06 is 3.34. Anything long enough to handle the 06 should handle the 9.3X66.

My 2 cent opinion it is a waste to go to the longer case and then fill it with bullet. Comparing a 9.3x62 vs a 9.3x66 loaded to the same pressure and oal the gain shown by Loadtech is very maginal.


As usual just my $.02

according to sako Roll Eyes it is comperable to the 375 hh...

was thinking it would make a good large bodied game round and would be great to have it in a lever action or pump action. so no mods except chamber reaming and barrel change?

i was thinking this would be a better round than the 375 hawk in terms of not a wildcat and can purchase loaded ammo if needed.
