Anybody shooting this old cartridge?
I am having aa heckuva time finding any data other than Cartridgees of the World, and there is not much there.
Sellier & Bellot sells factory ammo, with a 195 grain bullet, but I want too shoot cast bullets in my drilling.
Another issue is actually utilizing the loading dies I have at my disposal, where are 9.3X57.
Even with the expander right out of the die, the 9.3X72R brass barely grabs the 270 grain Speer bullets I am working with .
The leads me to believe that the 9.3X57 brass is much thicker due too the higher pressure cartridge.
it woukd be greatly appreciated if anybody that has any info at all about this cartridge would let me know
The rifle shoots wonderfully with roll crimped 16 gauge ammo , but I will be shooting brass cases and black with it in the future, and if I can get the results I am looking for, will use BP in the rifle as well.
A friend is shipping me a 195 grain mold too borrow, but in the meantime I will keep experimenting with what I have

The factory load is on the right, 270 grain Speer on the left
