    Try 9.3 x 57 or 9.3 x 62

    As others have mentioned you will have to size down .358" bullets in order to paper patch then back to .358" diameter. It would be easyer to paper patch .358" bullets to .365" or .366" diameter.

    I have patched .358" to .366" diameter for my CZ 550 in 9.3 x 62 successfully with 230 grain wadcutters; with these loads, at 50 yards, I can overlap four bullets forming nice clovers. On the other hand, you will not be able to shoot .358" bullets (jacketed or cast) accurately in a 9.3mm bore.

    Not a problem at all there dogtrainer12. When in the mood to patch some boolits for a 35 bore .358" groove I just simply use a 34 cal mold. You know a mold for the 348 win.
    There are many combinations of calibers that can do likewise.
    25 to 26, 27 to 28, 30 to 32, 32 to 33, 33 to 34, 34 to 35, 35 to 36, 36 to 37,
    and well you get the idea.
