The histories and chronological developments of European medium bore hunting cartridges are vague with exact dates and names of inventors often difficult to determine. My history notes within this section should therefore be considered anecdotal at best. Cartridges of 9.3mm (.366”) caliber seem to have first appeared in Europe during the mid 1880’s...
Performance of the 9.3x57 is similar to, but cannot be directly compared with the .358 Winchester. The reader is hereby advised to separate theory from practice and fantasy from fact.

For all intents and purposes the 9.3x57 is, outside of Europe, a hand loading only proposition. Fortunately, components are readily available and brass can be formed fro...

As previously suggested, bullets need to be made to suit the reality of how these cart...
