Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Bullet Swagging Jacketed rounds for the 9x57 Mauser

Does it look something like this?

I just contacted Lee as suggested and told them i was after a Lube and Size Kit in .355" (rifle). They also affirmed the fact that jackets can expand back .001".

Lee also agreed a non-liquid based lubrication like Imperial Sizing Die Wax not the Alox that ships with it would be needed.

$30 total 3-6 weeks for delivery. I will keep you all posted. Thank you.

Sharp rifle SSB! Is your also chambered in 9x57?

Here are some pics of my Commercial Mauser Sporter k98 i'm told. Has a few pieces i would like to bring back to original like the buttplate (minor) and the express folding leaf rear sight but have been coming up dry on all my searches for these.

griss, Very Nice Piece! Yes that one is a 9X57 from JP Sauer. Made in 1906. We've always used the .358 Hornady RN with 3031. Hope that helps ya out. You have a very nice rifle there!

BTW the ammo in that pic is a box of original Wichester Western 280gr RN. Some day I'll chrono one of those...I was always curious.
