Wildcatting the 9,3x64 Brenneke
One way not to invent the wheel again is searching for a little known basic
case. That means more or less little known outside
Some cartridges based on the 9,3x64 Brenneke:
8x64 Mazón
/ 8 mm Mazón / 8-9,3x64S Brenneke-Mazón (.323cal. , designed by Alvaro Mazón)
8,5x64
(.338 cal. , designed by Lutz Möller
)
6,5x63 Messner Magnum
(NO
wildcat, CIP-Standard):
These
9,3x64 Brenneke
descendants are all one needs to imagine his own wildcat mainly by varying
bullet diameters. If not, send an
e-mail.
Small variations of shoulder angles and/or neck lengths will not affect
performance very much.
Shooting a wildcat may be eccentric but shooting a 9,3x64 Brenneke
wildcat really is eccentric!
30 Hembrook Long
This is one of the rare 9,3x64 Brenneke wildcats, designed by Robert C.
Hembrook.
The genesis of this cartridge started with the ownership of a rifle in
9,3x62 caliber and the meditation about other 9,3mm’s and the Brenneke case.
After a 9,3x64 Brenneke case was placed near a 30-06Springfield
the idea was born to use the larger volume of the 9,3x64 Brenneke for a
.30 caliber cartridge of the same length- and obviously the same appearance.
It has slightly more inside volume than the 300WSM and therefore roughly
the same performance when loaded to same pressures. Dimensions allow
rechambering of any 30-06Springfield rifle and of course simple
rebarreling of any 9,3x64 Brenneke rifle. As it is intended for
standard length actions magazines can rather easily be adapted to this round.
30-06Springfield bolt heads must be opened up to this ‘special’ diameter,
too.
