lawndartOK Guys, is there any chance in hell...
of getting a small pile of 9.3x66 Sako brass into the USA?
I just have an itch to take one of my old A-V actions and slap on a new 9.3mm tube. A few hundred cases would last a lifetime or three. Dave, Hugh or Dave could whip up a reamer in a trice.
I WOULD SHARE it.
Seriously, if three or four of us commit to the project we could likely get Huntingtons to order up a case of cases, and the reamer would be FREE (i.e. no cost to y'all).
Do we need it? No.
Does it do anything that we don't already have four or five perfectly suited cartridges for? No.
Is its niche as thin as the gap between two tiles on the space shuttle? Yes.
Is it worth having one just to hold while Mr. expert next to you at the range is telling you that no such cartridge exists? Absolutely.
If three others are willing to jump on this voyage to the sea of frivolusness I will do the legwork.
Maybe I'll call it the .366 Scovill and get a write up into
Handloader magazine.

Lawndart,
I would be interested is getting some of the brass and making up a rifle myself.
Thanks,
