Well stated Dan ! One of the big benefits we have with hunting river bottoms is the range is always a none issue. My longest shot on a deer is still 33 yards. Very little velocity loss to be expected. So we have the benefit of not "needing" a high velocity at the muzzle to get complete penetration even with a cylinder (WC) shaped slug. Another plus is we cast with a softer mix that will expand even on soft tissue so our FN bullet generally exits with a 150% diameter. Thus our heavy for caliber has plenty of force to push an extra fat chunk of lead on through to exit the far side. Many other hunters do not have the river bottoms or thick field edges to hunt as we do and we are blessed and thankful.

What kind of velocity is possible with the 9.3×57

depends on what type/weight of bullet/boolit.

The 9.3x57 is slightly larger in bore diameter and has slightly greater case volume than the 358 Winchester which means that at equal chamber pressures with the same bullet weights it will out perform the 358 Winchester. Another way to look at it is that it can equal the 358 but do it at a lower chamber pressure. The lower chamber pressures can become important in places that can reach very high temperatures like some of the African countries or even the American south west.

The 9.3x62mm Mauser is most frequently contrasted with the . however, 375 H&H Magnum. That exemplary 9.3×62 heap of a 286 grain projectile at 2,350 fps (3,507 ft-lbs of energy) positively seems to could not hope to compare to a run of the mill . 375 H&H heap of a 300 grain shot at around 2,550 fps (4,331 ft-lbs of energy). If you want to know more about 9.3mm the neglected caliber then visit opticsbible.com/. Decently as of late we have gained a brilliant old Husqvarna rifle loaded for a much ignored yet gigantically skilled cartridge the 9.3x57

Written 2 years ago and still true. Well explained Dan. This should be another "sticky"! (Post from 24 Sept 2020)

If you want to know more about 9.3mm the neglected caliber then visit opticsbible.com/. Decently as of late we have gained a brilliant old Husqvarna rifle loaded for a much ignored yet gigantically skilled cartridge the 9.3x57 Actually the 9.3x62 compares more favorably with the 35 Whelen but the 9.3x64 is a very close ballistic match to the 375 H&H. The 9.3x64 has a slight ballistic edge over the 375 in that with equal bullet weight at equal velocity the slightly smaller diameter of the 9.3mm bullets gives them a higher sectional density for better penetration with similar bullet construction. The 9.3x62 uses basically 30-06 size brass cases while the 9.3x64 uses the magnum size case sans the belt much like the 375 Ruger. Both excellent cartridges each a near ballistic twin to its US counterpart with the 9.3x62 matched to the 35 Whelen and the 9.3x64 to the 375 H&H.

well, if i were to choose the "caliber" (which i'm not!!!!!!!), it would be the 9.3x57. i'm really, really sorry, 7x57 and 35/30-30, please forgive me!!!!!!!! the small ring Husqvarna m46 (1937) is my choice of rifle, of course, i own it!!!!! Dan is kind enough to offer a 9.3mm in 275gr WFN GC. it puts a smackdown on deer!!!!! i've killed about three(?) deer and every one of them were DRT. i still have to chronograph it, but i'm excepting 1700-1800fps. it is a pleasant little shooter and it is good close cover deer rifle. all of these were at 100 yards/benched husky m46 in 9.3x57 with 280gr rn gc 280gr rn gc 275gr wfn gc 275gr wfn gc

I have the same rifle Tod and mine performs about like yours. Its one of those that any reasonable load shoots well. If Lord forbid we were only allowed one rifle A guy couldn't go wrong choosing it especially if that guy has access to Bullshop bullets. That wfn design worked out really well and is the last mold I will ever be able to get from Dan Lynch at Mountain Molds as he has closed his doors and retired. Sure glad I got that one in under the wire. Ive had trouble with custom design with other mold makers but with Dan I always got exactly what I put in the program. I greatly miss his service.

the Swedes sure knew how to build rifles!!! my gunsmith was tasked to D&T and put on a 2-7x Leopold, bend the bolt handle, 2 position safety and while he was at it, he made it a cock on open(Dayton Traister trigger spring and replacement cocking piece). the trigger is excellent, there is a hint of 2 stage trigger, but it is un-noticeable. as far as my "finger pull"(don't own a trigger pull) it is like 4 or 5 lbs. all in all, the m46 has everything i wanted and more.
