[QUOTE="Taj, post: 2916386, member: 98000"] I recently picked up a pre-war JP Sauer & Sohn 98 Sporting rifle. It was chambered in 8x57 and was a "J" bore. The bore was pretty rough but the rest of the rifle was beautiful. I pulled the barrel and sent it to JES Reboring in Oregon and had him rebore and rifle the barrel to 9.3. He couldn't chamber due to the barrel configuration. It is beautifully machined with integral rib and is an octagon that transitions to round just past the forend. I had to make some special holding fixtures to get it in the lathe but finally got the chamber cut to 9.3x62. Just got dies and loading components but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. The rifle has the bolt stop mounted Lyman receiver sight on it plus one standing and one folded rear sight. Hopefully I can find a load that shoots to that sight. I have a ton of IMR 4350. Does anyone have a favorite load for a 286 grainer? [/QUOTE]
