Hi All

I have also been luck enough to inherit a 9.5 x 57 MS 1910 from my Grandfather. The rifle was originally bought to shoot lions with in Southern Rhodesia. My Grandfather carried and used this rifle in the Zambezi Valley in the 1950's whilst working on the Kariba Dam project. I bought this rifle over with me to Australia over 4 years ago and have aquired a set of CH4 dies and neck expanders. My reloading and case forming has up to this point been mainly trial and error, with information sourced from the internet and this forum in particular.

I am using Winchester 3006 cases to create my cases, which seem to work well. As far as reloading goes I have been using 46 and 47 gr AR2206H behind Hornady 270 gr spire points. I do not know the velocity of these loads, but there are no signs of pressure with the 47 gr. thinking this maybe around 2200 ftps? I have recently loaded up some Speer 235 gr with 47 to 49 gr, but yet to test them at the range in Brisbane. Apparently from what I have read 49.5 gr IMR 4895 potentially gives around 2400 fps from the rifle (mine is the rifle not the carbine)?

Does anyone have any more information/experience with loads for the 9.5?

Cheers
