Good Morning all,

I have been researching the 9x56 MS and the 9 x 57 Mauser.

The 1920 - 1930 era catalogues show the 9 x 56 MS as having a .354" bullet diameter, and the 9 x 57 Mauser as having a .356" bullet diameter.

Has anybody noticed this with slugging your barrels? What bullets do you use in the 9 x 56 MS?
If the need is there, I could swage some 245 grain bullets at .354" diameter, likewise .356" diameter for the Mauser version. If anyone has seen an original bullet, is there a concave section at the base to help it obdturate well and truly into the bore?

I very much want to produce new factory ammo with everything from headstamp, good quality brass and a correct bullet present. The brass costs a fair penny, so I will also convert some cheaper brass for day to day use.

BTW, Which importer might be interested in this type of ammunition, and do you have an importer who would be interested in bringing in North Fork bullets?

Thanks, again.
