I just picked up a very nice Husqvarna 9.3x57 from Anthony-it was in excellent condition just as he said it was.I've steamed out the odd''ding'' in the stock and will refinish it with watco oil, and am now in the process of deciding what sighting system to go with-reflex sight, scout mount, or attempt a ''do it yourself'' bolt job.This aquisition might get me into reloading,too.I also have to say I have found a very helpful group of 9.3 owners here-and very much appreciated .European arms in North Vancouver says says they can order Norma Alaska ammunition as well[one of my biggest concerns]

Did they say how much that Norma ammo would cost?
If they use the same bullet as they do in the 9,3x62 they should hold up fairly well. The don't do overly well at the 62 velocities compared to the other handloaded bullets I've recovered.

Anyway, keep in mind how much buying the loaded ammo will cost as compared to getting just brass, and a reloading setup. In the slightly obscure calibers it does not take long to loose alot of coin when buying factory ammo.

Lazy Ike is having a fun time waiting for his Norma ammo too.

Congrats on your purchase! Any pics? :shotgun:
 
European Fireams says they can bring in Norma Alaska ammunition in 9.3x57 [286 gr]for about $50,which is ennough to get me started until I learn how to reload.I already cast bullets for my 50 cailber TC Hawkin so that part doesn't intimidate me.I think I'm going to enjoy this...

Two or three boxes should get you going then.


Sorry Anthony, I thought I was answering to the other 9,3 thread we have going here. Didn't mean to curb your thread.;)

I guess this kept it at the top for you longer if nothing else!:redface:

According to the "Norma Rep" I spoke with recently, the Alaska designation is Norma's cheap bullet and he actually said I should reconsider hunting with it. He also said he could get me ammo in a week(over a month ago) so draw your own conclusions as to the veracity of that information.

In continuation with my curb,:p , Jarrod I found a fellow in Norway who makes 185gr bullets. There are all copper and look like a TSX, made for hunting. That should fit your bill for a bullet with less recoil. He has the price lists but doesn't say how many come in a box.

I can get back to you if you like.;)

I hope you guy's are swamping Anthony with your tall tales. I have my only two Husky stories submitted. Looking forward to seeing some others!:cool:
 
Who said I don't like recoil? Well, I don't like it today but that's only becuase one of your neighbors decided to pass us on the left as we were turning left on to Towers trail a couple of weeks ago.
 
''cheap bullet''?I would think 286 grains of lead moving around 2200 FPS is going to hit with a heck of a smack.I also read somewhere that the more ''expensive'' bonded type bullets are needed at higher velocities,and are not as important at more modest velocities[which seems to to be born out in the efficiency of cast bullets as far as hunting is concerned]
I also question what a factory rep is doing telling people to ''reconsider'' using their ammunition for hunting....
 
I use the 286gr Alaska in my 9.3x64 on Moose and they work great for me and they always come out, even on angled shot.Since i generate a higher Velocity with the 64 than one would with the 57 or the 62 and have no problem.I don't think, you would have one with lower velocity.
