I picked up an Enfield P17 in 9.3 x 300 Win Mag some years back, it was a pretty neat toy, but those short necks were something to watch out for seating bullets. I ended up trading it for a Scout rifle (sometimes I have mental breakdowns, and submit to un-natural gun lusts caused by reading too many gun rags). - Dan

Dave James, Harald Wolf has been working to revive a classic cartridge that he has written about on his site www.hataritimes.com the 9.3x70. The rifle was offered for sale on hisw site for a very small sum considering the maker's genius and you can read about it there. Good shooting.
It would be even more mind blowing to build a 9,3-404 in a simular configuration as our dear hosts 375-404. I guess the 320 grain FMJ would penetrate all day long in the biggest buff
mel,thanks for the link to Harti times have begun a subscription,that 9.3x70 is realy makeing my head hurt,theres just something about haveing one that no one else does.
Johan,thats not a bad idea either.

Yea thats true george,but with the computer load programs now it might not be to bad,for some reason i keep thinking a 26" bbl for my encore would go good with the 15" 416JDJ,maybe I have been in the sun toooooo long!

Dave, If you do buy the gun, do let us know how it shoots! You might be instrumental in reviving the caliber if you do. Even if you don't, I hope the info was useful. Good shooting,
