Carbon 12 that is a wonderful idea!
I own a 9.3X74R now, and I will soon have a Mauser in 9.3X62. I am going to build it on a GEW length Steyr Mauser. I hope to acquire a KAR length Mauser to make myself a 9.3X57 in the coming year.

All could use the makarov bullets I am sure. I may even make up a gas-check mold to cast some "mak bullets"
If I can get good accuracy from these 3 rifles with love velocity loads I'd bet they would be great for pests and for filling the stew pot on hunts with small game.
