My CZ 550 American is great! 3 shot clusters at 100, 5 shots in 1 1/2 at 200 with most bullets. Recoil is more a push than a whack. No belt to possibly cause feeding problems, and 1 more round in the mag. Bullets aren't hard to get, see Midway. RL 15 is your friend, Varget is about as good. Guy on the Ruger forum says he runs 375 bullets thru a 366 Lee bullet sizing die, they shoot fine. He has killed a LOT of stuff with his 9.3s. Cases no problem, available from most major makers, even Winchester now. You can also expand the necks of 30-06, possibly a mild fireform, and make them that way. Ruger is now making rifles, too. I myself would stay with the CZ. Did you know they come with a standard set trigger?

Is the "guy" who resizes .375 bullets to .366 limited to cast bullets/will brass work (orig. reply title)
I too am interested in the CZ550 in 9.3x62 as a North American DG rifle, specifically to stalk and shoot wild boars at close range , less than 50 yards. However, I want to be able to feed my hunting habit, without any concern for bullet cost or at least reducing per round cost for the 9.3x62 which is quite expensive in comparison to shooting .223 for most factory ammo. I reload for my other firearms and even considered the possibility of using a .357 dia. 180 gr. pistol bullet and crimp the brass on a .366 dia. 9.3 x 62 case to save costs in making an inexpensive
hog blasting bullet that would fire at approx, 3100 fps. This reloading recipe at this stage was just my guestimation of velocity and practicality. I hesitate on this because of questions and safety concerns about potential excessive pressure. Thus my interest in how does that "guy on Ruger" or anybody else who is knowledgeable
about internal ballistics, make a .375 brass bullet function in a .366 dia. bore rifle ? Can a 357. dia 180 gr. pistol bullet function atop 43.8 gr. H 4350 as a hog round ? Explain.
