Re: rifle cartridge
Well.. it is a realatively rare cartridge. However RWS does still produce it.
Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for it though... prices at well north of 100 Euro's a box of 20 if you can find it.

Re: rifle cartridge
i m ready to pay any knda price for the cartridge provided i find it, although cartridge size 9.3*62 is available in india. The rifle is too good to part away coz of the cartridge... damn those stiffen gun laws of india

Re: rifle cartridge
The 9.3x64 is not exactly common but definitely not obsolete.
It`s a true beltless magnum making some 4,300 ft lbs ME.

Re: rifle cartridge
It is not illegal.But, you will find it impossible to import the correct powders, primers and bullets. Also, unless you are familiar with reloading and know the basics, do not even attempt to reload even if you have those components. The results can be disastrous to you and certainly to the rifle. There are a lot of folks who use powders from shotgun cartridges, or IOF cartridges etc. I really wonder how they survive. There must be someone watching over them. I am not even suggesting that you fall into that category. Just sharing my views.Ramandeep wrote:Is refilling of rifle cartridge legal in India?
