C&H for dies, Buffalo Arms makes a nice two diameter 9.3 bullet just for the 9.3x72R. Like most early European cartridge there can be a wide range bore and groove diameters. Mine has a .364 groove diameter but only a .344 bore diameter, Mule Deer had one with a 358 groove diameter.

Surprisingly the very first rifle I used for hunting was a drilling in 16ga/16ga/9.3x72R and I used it for feral dog control work for the local game warden, it worked great with buckshot for the close in work and the rifle for longer range stuff. We were kids back then and my partner used a custom Ariska and his dad loaned me the drilling. I have since purchased one like it. A drilling is still one of my favorites for coyote hunting(calling).
