Swaging .375 to 9.3mm

[Pioneer2]

Some guys are using cut off at the shoulder .222 dies and extended shell holders to make 9.3[.366] bullets from Hornady .375/225gr.The inside shoulder area of the die needs to be honed out a little to make .366 but that's it....22 Sav HP,223,219 Zipper,25-35,and 221 FB should also work same premise.Hornady .375 225gr come 100 to a box and when sized work well in the 9.3x57 and 62mm......................Harold

Thats very interesting.
I would have guessed that the brass spring back would have left a loose core.
Guess it wouldnt matter in a hunting bullet, if true. Right?

I havn't tried this so it may not be "The Gospel" but blackbears elk and deer have fallen to it so far.We would just buy 9.3 lighter bullets to start with except being in Canada everything you get at one price we pay double.The zealots at the Dept of Homeland Defence/State Dept. have put a ban on all US sales of reloading components like brass ,primers and bulk bullets to non US residents.So going to MT shopping and camping like I've done since 1980 is a thing of the past.This should help the economy.Canada customs allows me to bring all these things in I just can't buy them there. Theres always the rest of the World Aus and NZ have a large shooters/hunting market....................Harold

Do you swage any .366" bullets with jackets and cores instead of reducing??
