Several threads on here have discussed these capabilities to the finest details by better scribes than me.

Before the bullet manufacturers forgot about somewhat obscure calibers I bought the Hornady 95gr Makarov bullets and loaded my various 9.3s with Trail Boss and the little jacketed pills. They were great in my older 9.3X72R guns and a lot of fun in the 9.3X74R and 9.3X62.

If you have a 9.3 and run across the Makarov bullets grab some. wink

Edit:

Graf has them, and I ordered some just now, the 95gr PRVI. They're virtually identical to the Hornadys I've been using.
