[medvedqc]

I suspect they have bigger fish to fry than a possibly 1000 piece order....but I guess there is no harm in emailing them.

1899 if you need if have a contact at Norma.

yours truly.

My vote is for the 36-05, 36 cal. developed in 1905

Like the 30-06, 30 cal. developed in 1906

Feel free to email them if you know someone there! You may get a warmer reception than if a nobody like me makes such a request!

depending on price i would be interested ( i can get 35 whelen for 65.00 per 100 brass ) .

also if the overall length of the brass is longer than factory 9.3x62 , possibly as long as 2.5 " would be a huge bounus for me .

i'b be in for 400 rounds .

the reamer i had dave manson build for me uses the same overall length as 35whelen brass
where the neck to case mouth dimension has been increased roughly 60 thou , allowing the bullet to be seated out of the case at least 60 though farther .

the neck / shoulder dimemsion to rim is stock , but the shoulder has been blown out to 40 degrees and increased in diameter a few though larger ( off the top of my head .455" )

the idea was to create a case capacity very similar to the 370 sako , while still being able to fire factory 9.3x62.

The response from Lapua -

Dear Kristian

Thank you for your E-mail.

Technically it is possible to make a customized head stamp but unfortunately we are not able to make that at the moment. Our lines are so booked that it is not possible.


Best regards from
Janne

I should add that they responded within a few hours of my question which, I suspect, shows their level of commitment to customer service/care.

Good try. A 'sort of' related question comes to mind. A few days ago, I gave a friend 3 + boxes of once fired 303Br. brass, made by IVI. What ever happened to them and/or their facility etc??

Sold and dismantled, iirc.

Firearm related business is doing very well now due to Obama's agenda. Everything is trying to buy more before they can't .

 

[1899]

Well, still no response from anyone else. I guess everyone is just too busy.

 

[freire]

I,m also in for at least 100.

 

[Gatehouse]

Well, maybe someone can make some boxes.

Americans aren't the only ones that have a problem with the metric system. Old British catalogues often refer to the 9.3x62 as the .366 Mauser, the 6.5x53R and 6.5x54 M.S. were .256's, and the great 7x57 was relabelled the .275 Rigby.

Yeah but they were Brits, they had an excuse. - dan

What ted and wagner stands for?

 

[1899]

I founds an old .33 Win cartridge with an EPPS headstamp. It looked like it was stamped after the fact (on a blank head). I wonder where/when they did this.
