9mm Mauser

[Light Infantry]

I just got some ammo, and 1 of the boxes is not what it was supposed to be. I can find a lot of info on it so I’m hoping someone can shed some light on it.

Stil being made? What rifles? etc What do i do with it?

This is 9x57, and not 9.3

It was fairly popular before WWII, but I don't think any new rifles have been chambered for it since. Usually chambered in Mauser rifles. It's a .35 calibre, firing typically a 245 gr bullet at about 2000 fps. I have a couple of boxes in my collection, but it's pretty dead unless you happen to have a rifle in that calibre.

I just took delivery of some .358 bullets for my 9x57 Mauser. My bore slugs .358 on the nose. I’ll start working up some hand loads and shooting the old rifle I have.

Here is a thread I started a few years ago. Just getting around to the project.
