Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 9.3 x 57

I have many Mauser cartridges and now am wanting a 9.3 x 57 . Do any of you men have any background with it ? I have a VZ-24 action as well as a Yugo 24 /47 action to rebarrel .

Also ...... can I use 8x57 headspace gauges ?

i have a 1936 or '37 Husqvarna m46 in 9.3x57. i have used 286gr Prvi bullets to fireform an 8x57 to 8.3x57. i use cast bullets for deer and black bear. it is a 275gr WFN GC over IMR4895 that guesstimates 1800-1900fps. i have killed deer with out to 50ish yards. this year i killed a big old dry doe (200+/-lbs) at 15ish yards.

after


275gr WFN GC and IMR4895 at 100 yards



280gr RN GC and IMR4895 at 100 yards


i believe it is a '96 Swedish Mauser small ring. it shoots great and, in my loads, recoil isn't an issue.
