;)A small 'herd', in my den and reloading room. You've only seen a small sampling but there's quite a 'healthy' number and variety in both rooms. Usually, there's also a 'healthy' population of mewsies in small packages 'hibernating' in my deepfreeze.:(Not this year however.
Oh, I had a comment just for you on Pg. 30, post #293 of this thread. And;), the next new picture I post, I'll include my Swedish 'Moosie' Ikea;) just for you.
Laugh2
 
Well, just passed through the next step in the plan with the test at the range this afternoon. I've posted the results on another thread but here goes again.



And I'm pleased with these initial results.



Next major step in the 'plan', to try out the .366 Wagner in the field this fall.
Or, spring Bear possibly.

She's a shooter Johnn. A looker too. Congratulations.
Never seen the 286 prvi's print so tight.
Mostly, they'll do 1 1/2 moa in my 2.5x post scoped 640. Will just have to do!.
The Horn. SP's, they do print quite a bit tighter in my Wagner.
 
Great targets Johnn !! That is very similar to mine with the same charges..... your 4064 group is tighter than my groups with 4064 and my 4320 load w/ same charge averages .55" out of my CZ...
 
John...what velocity are you getting out of your rifle with the 286gr?

Im guessing 2300+fts?

I think im going to try the exact same load as yours with the 286gr with imr 4064 and see what results and velocity I get out of mine.

I haven't run mine through a chrono yet, and may not for a little while. Too busy shoveling snow here in the 'banana belt'. Your guess sounds reasonable but I'll let you know for sure when I get to trying it.
 
Last summer I got 2429 fps with a 285 gr Privi over 65.5 grs of H-414 from my Husky. The load was worked up in warm weather, with .30/06 Federal brass, and Remington magnum primers. I observed no extractor mark on the case head or any other pressure signs.

I forgot to mention but as you well know, all rifles are different so as a caution, you should observe the steps of working up to a given load. Indications of a lack of any signs of preasure with those loads from my rifle, they'll likely be okay in yours, but, safety first.

Thanks Boomer. Until the weather conditions and access to our little informal range here;) in the 'Banana Belt' improve, I won't be able to check with the chrono. In the meantime, I've just used the info in the 5th edition Nosler manual as rough guide, and that indicates my reloads are in the 2300f/sec range. Mine might be a slight bit lower because of the difference in their C.O.A.L. and mine.
Where did you get load info using H-414?
 
Well I talked with Ted over the Phone last night and he talked me out of the imr 4064 load and talked me in into trying about 57grs of H4895 over a 285gr Privi bullet to get better results. Man did It shoot better. Keep in mind this was done with a 4x power scope and off of a atv seat. On proper bench it will probably shoot half inch.

Sorry for the turned over pic...don't know what happened there. Its supposed to be rotate left.

Ted's a very knowledgeable and helpful individual. His help and suggestions are graphic example as to why there are sentiments expressed by some of us to rename the calibre from 9.3x62 to the .366 Wagner. Just to express some appreciation for his contributions to the calibre.
Looks like you've got a decent load going for you. Good on you. With the C.O.A.L. I'm using for my reloads, above that suggested by the manuals, there's a little more case capacity available. As such, and with no signs of preasure showing up, I may, in half grain incriments, work the loads up a little higher and see if/how that effects accuracy and preasure.
