I see and 8,9xx, maybe the xx=m/m? then 72 then 6,88 maybe? then 557. I sure wouldn't know what they mean. That's a lot of stampings. Nice gun. Drillings have just never caught on in the US. They're just as useful for a bird/deer hunt here as in Europe.

I have a friend who owns a Vierling. It is a double in 20 gauge, then 30/40 Krag and .22 Auto. It is like new. He paid $5,000 for it from ol'Dangerous Dave Cunningham. Bout 20 years ago Winchester made a short run of 22 auto ammo. This guy bought a brick. A lifetime's supply.

I made brass cases for my .410 by buying a box of Hornady 9.3x74R brass from Cabelas and fire forming them in the .410. They are just a hair short of 3" when completed. Might be just what you need for your 10.75x65R.

I was reading an edition of "Cartridges of the World" and they claimed 405 WCF was the best and easiest choice . And since Hornady makes that brass also . And looks as if the 9.3x74R is gonna need a bit more trimming . Also a bit more opening since it's .366 caliber and the 405 is .405 that needs to come open to about .422" or so .

Or you could buy .410 brass.

Edgar, I received your wonderful cartridges today. I put them into my great Sauer driller and they fit just great. They are some beautiful cartridges. Now I have some incentive to drive out the hard cast lead bullet that I drove into the forcing cone with the intent of finding out the true bore diameter. I am not much of a rifle guy and I didn't understand that there were hard cast and soft cast bullets. I have not looked at the Sauer for a few months, and today I realize that this could be my "do all" woods gun. It has just wonderful barrel blue wear on the left barrel and sling wear ahead of the front swivel that I have not seen before. Most guns have "abuse wear" that can't be explained. This gun shows no abuse whatever except a poor repair of a forend crack.
