Looking for brass, bullets and complete rounds.

Will be loading for a double 16 Ga with 9.3 X 72 under barrel.

You found your way to a "Drilling"... don't tell me it's an original or a copy of the survuval rifle they gave to the Austrian pilots (I think before WW II)?
Be carefull: the 9,3x72 R is a lot weaker than the 9,3x62, the 9,3x64 or the 9,3x74 R. I would suggest to start with a soft lead bullet and a full case of black powder. At the same time you could load some cal 16 with BP and slugs (Brenneke) or buckshot. I even would suggest to start with these BP cal 16 reloads!
I think you're now starting something that can bring lots of joy and fun...


and I'll try to help a little using the Autralian helpline Smile

Guess I should have given a little more information. I still have to find out who manufactured it. My friend and Vince's has it. It's European manufactured in 1900 and fully engraved. Both bores and the rifle bore are clean and shinny. Rifling is bold and sharp.
