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. While the 9.3x57 is generally suited to larger bodied game which offer plenty of body weight resistance to activate expansion of its long and heavy pills, the majorit...
The Norma ammunition company is currently the only manufacturer to offer factory loaded 9.3x57 ammunition, advertising two loads.

As previously suggested, bullets need to be made to suit the reality of how these cart...
The 9.3x57 Mauser was introduced around the turn of the 20th Century. It was created by simply necking-up the 8x57 Mauser case to accept 9.3mm (.366" diameter) bullets. The 9.3x57 is reasonably popular in Scandinavia for hunting moose (alg) and wild boar. Its purpose and ballistics are similar to the .358 Winchester cartridge.
