9 Good Reasons You Need To Own a 9.3!

We had a crate that we needed to empty, some great deals here!

9.3x57... you sneaky folk. How hard to find loaded (or brass) for 57mm? For those of us that don't feel comfortable fire-forming brass.

Providing you reload, this is not a big deal. Get 8mm mauser brass, lube it generously, run it through a 9.3x57 sizing die, prime, charge, seat, fire.

I removed the link, despite my search it delivered results for 9.3x62, which would be no beuno

The sizing die can seriously stretch the case that far without splitting the neck? Does it need to be heated? And think of what that would do to my precious supply of 8mm brass...
Would love to try the 57 next to a 62 to see how it feels, should give the same performance if you aren't maxing out the case volume.

There already is a commercial 9.3x54R and a 320gr Sledgehammer bullet for reloaders.

In answer to your question, I have done so, multiple times, with new PPU 8 mm Mauser brass - and also much further - into 9.3x57 Hornady "Custom Grade" dies with elliptical expander ball on the de-capping stem, then further to virtually straight wall cases with .41 Rem Mag expander - then back to the 9.3x57 die and work down until the case just so allows that brass with a "false shoulder" to allow that bolt to close snuggly. So far, I have never had to resort to annealing, but will likely be next stage - what I would do if using previously fired 8x57 brass, and what I will do after fire-forming these "home made" 9.3x57 cases.

It is perhaps surprising to some how far cartridge brass can stretch before splitting - is a thing to make 458 Win Mag brass from 7mm Rem Mag and from 300 Win Mag cases - is often done with that "Cream of Wheat" (COW) technique. I think that works because all have the same belt - what is establishing the headspace - I doubt that would work well for rimless cases, without creating some sort of "false shoulder" to establish head space within that chamber??

That I know of, for reloaders, is a relative "plethora" of 9.3 jacketed bullets that were available - 232 grain from Norma, 250 grain Accubond and 286 grain Partition from Nosler, 285 grain from PPU, 320 grain from Woodleigh - is likely others that I do not know about. This is besides multiple cast bullet weights.
