J.P. Sauer Krupp Steel

[Double Trouble]

It's safe to say that low pressure 2 1/2" shells (RST) are the way to go, as long as the gun checks out first...

I shoot RST 7/8 ounce loads for small game in my hammer drilling (in 16 x 16 x 9.3x72R) - proofed in 1904. Shotgun bore look like hell, but she's a good shooter. (All I need is to find the right rifle load that will shoot to point of aim...)

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 !

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

I have a hammer drilling made by Kettner or Kerner I cannot remmember which without digging it out of the safe . But mine's 16 Sxs with a rifle barrel in 10.75x65R Collath . This is nothing more then the 444 case with a shaving on top .

I've yet to fire mine but if I remmember correctly the cartridge was a low pressure round shooting lead bullets of approx 200 grains .

I'll get around to it soon hopefully .

Edgar, I would love to have some 11.15 if you care to part with them. I have not seen one before. I will PM.

Thru further research in the 10.75x65R Collath round I have found a better alternative . In actuality the 444 case will work but it's a hair short . The better alternative is to get new 405 WIN brass a set of CH4D dies and make the correct length brass ! If I'm not mistaken 405 brass is maybe 2/100's over length . So an easy trim job and runnign them thru the 10.75 expander and you ready to load . I typically size bullets for the 444 at .432" but the 10.75x65R Collath is supposedly a .424" . And again thats not a great problem I can run the same 200-225 grain bullets thru a .427" or .429" die and be fine with air cooled wheelweight alloy .

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.
