maybe it will not feed properly ...post 33 explains it well.

i forgot my woodleigh manual and the 400 gr is going at the initial speed of the 347 grains very interesting and varget of course again.
only thing missing would be a lighter bullet for deer
i shot wild boar with 460 weatherby and they were close to be smoke before cooking ... the 347 might a very good deer bullet.
You can get 2300+ from a .45-70 with 350 grain bullets... not enough incentive to jump on the 10.75 unless you just gotta have the Mauser bolt action. The incentive would be less about the ballistics and more about the platform... but then, there are better ballistic options in the same platform... long story short, there is little point talking yourself into one by the numbers... better to just say "I wanna play with one."
I have a question: if zastava would build one a10.75 would anyone here be tempted to buy one, at typical zastava pricing or a bit more? I feel like messaging zastava to float the idea even if it’s a long shot. Love to see zastava and prvi collaborate on that one. Hornady and Winchester resurrected 405 I’d sure love a 10.75
You need to make the mag box or modify the factory one but that is pretty simple. It need to fit the cartridge that's being loaded in it as shown in post 33. You can find the numbers on line. When i did a 300wm to 460 weatherby mag box conversion i have to remove all 4 sides and replace them. Still doesnt fit through the floor plate but i can fit 3 in the mag. A new follower or modify the factory one is ideal to. I forget the numbers but they are easy to find
You also need to work the feed rails and the entire shape and opening of the receiver. Some cartridges are easier then others. Depends on what you start with or convert to.
lol it wont happen again that part was of the agreement between remington and zastava.
the 10.75x 68 is history: zastava will say to you oh yes we will build what you want on friday but will forgot about it on monday after votka gone .... and of course you will have to pay in advance for 250 samples at least i will say ... if you ever dealt with communism mind or countries you should ask anthony at tradeex how it s work with the factory ...
I wonder if Remington going belly up would impact that, if that was the only reason they don't make them?
i do not think zastava care about us hunters ...
