Need some help...9.3x57 Mauser

[vandeusenps]

Happy memorial day weekend to all!

I recently purchased an NOE mould for my Husqvarna M46 rifle. The only item I need to purchase before I can start actually casting is the sizing die. I see that RCBS and Lyman do not make a die in this size, however I see the Buffalo Arms website does show a .366 sizing die (in stock), but they do offer custom sizes.

My question is...would I be ok with the .366 sizer for this rifle, or should I put in the custom order for a .367 die that will probably take much longer to ship? I slugged the bore of the Husky, and it measures right at .366. I'll be using either Lyman #2 or Linotype alloy for these bullets.

Thanks!

check the LEE website custom pages.
they can make you one for nominal charge

I am doubtful that .366" will be good for your rifle, My Huskvarva measures in at .371". best slug your bore before buying.

My Ruger No. 1 in 9.3x74R likes bullets sized to 0.368". Buckshot, here on this forum, can make a die for you for a competitive price and he is usually prompt about making and shipping dies.

for my 9.3x62 mauser I am using a .368 sizer from buffalo and having very good results .

it also says "If you want a size you don't see please ask."
Where are you finding load data for it??

Thanks guys for your help...it seems like .002 over bore size is the way to go, and buffalo arms does stock that size. I got some load data from a guy on another forum, plus I've got a few handloader articles that supply some info. Mostly jacketed bullet info, but I do have some cast loads as well.
