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. While the 232 grain Norma Vulcan bullet was offered for several years, Norma have since discontinued this loading in favor of an FMJ 232 grain practice load rated at 2215fps along with the 232 grain core bonded Oryx bull...
Although Norma produces 9.3x57 ammunition and have agents worldwide, it is uncommon for agents to import and bear the cost of holding 9.3x57 ammunition in stock which may not sell. 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...
The 9.3x57 is certainly a very able bore but is under-supported by bullet manufacturers outside of Europe. One could perhaps say that this is no great loss as the 9.3x57 is not all that popular, however the 9.3x62 could also benefit from a wider range of options. As previously suggested, bullets need to be made to suit the reality of how these cart...

Sep 9, 2007 · Vihtavuori says keep your 9.3x57 case under 2.236 inches, and if your case is too long (and it is), trim it back to 2.228 inches. As for overall cartridge length, Vihtavuori (once again) says 3.189 inches is appropriate for the 9.3x57. But cartridge length is less critical if your rifle has a long leade, as Lee Speed pointed out.

Below are two photos of the rifle as received from Allan's ...
