I'm considering building a new rifle. I have set off on this mad pursuit because I picked up a stock (Winchester Featherweight for a long action). Having a stock lying around without an action or a barrel is a serious matter. It is a good enough reason to begin planning, I suppose.
There are two decided calibre deficits in my gun safe--rifles chambered in .338 and rifles chambered in 9.3 mm. I have done load development on a number of .338 cartridges, but I have never done load development for anything chambered in a 9.3 mm.
I have nothing in 9.3 mm, and I'm thinking about either a 9.3 x 62 Mauser or a 9.3 x 64 Brenneke. Whilst the 9.3 x 62 Mauser is somewhat more common in North America, the Brenneke attracts my attention. I'm less interested in the 9.3 x 66 Sako. I'm curious if any of the forum members have experience with rifles chambered in this calibre, and if so, what opinions might be registered about the minor differences in performance between the three cartridges.
