Sounds like the case is necked up to .366 Be sure to slug your bore. What will you do with the gun?

Be sure and slug the bore as it could be quite a bit smaller than .366 as 9.3x72R's will run as small as .358. Buffalo Arms has a 200gr two diameter bullet that works well in the smaller bores. I believe they should have brass for it also. After the first shot the rest are just noise.

They were made in England, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and maybe other places. I wouldn't be surprised to find wide variation in bullet diameters. The answer is not to guess and not presume COW is correct; "slug" the barrel. Mike
