My Sauer hammer driller is 16X16X11.15X65. 2 1/2" .410s shoot wonderfully out of the rifle barrel, so it is quite handy in the field. A three barrel shotgun!

I really enjoy drillings. 200 and 245 grain cast bullets shot high (with the 245's hitting higher than the 200's), so I'll be trying 180's as soon as I get them. It would be a thrill to get a deer with this gun !

True. Most likely, the chamber length will be stamped 65mm (2 9/16") Several of mine are 70mm, but I still only shoot AA, or other low brass Upland type loads. Both of my 20ga are 70mm
I have plenty of 9.3x72 and have found that RWS, Norma and DWM all shoot right where I want them. All of these are jacketed factory loads, but early rounded rifling is intended for lead. The only commercial molds are for 250 grains. I have cut them down to 185 grain. There are several jacketed .366 bullets available, and are all too heavy for 9.3x72. (They're really for 9.3x57, or 9.3x74) There is (Woodleigh maybe) a 185 grain jacketed SP.

I had a Sauer sidelock chambered the 10.75 something. I shot .410s and .44-40 It was a Dreileufer (side lever cocked the rifle) 2nd gun I ever bought from Gary Herman, ca.1972

Bill, I'm pretty sure I still have some 11.15. Yours if you want it.

I'm looking for some help finding a Drilling in 16 ga barrels 26" or longer with a user friendly rifle caliber if anyone runs across one.
Thanks Bob

yes, but it was missing the Setter :rotf:
and the cocking indicators

David is that on your C drive?

you need to first load to a picture hosting site such as Photobucket

8,9mm is the nominal bore (inside the rifling)So it is likely a 9.3mm cartridge. 6.36 is the date of manufacture, June 1936. The U is the proofhouse, and the rest are charge weights. It was the German and Austrain practice to give weights in grams, not grains.
