My loading tools were suited to either one, including the 50¢ 310 tool bullet size die converted to a taper tool to form cast bullets for a match..." I know the M.96 was chambered in 9.3x57 but, haven't ever heard of one in 9.5x57. What's your take on this? Rebarrelled or maybe sizing down the 375166 enough to fit the M.96?
never heard of a swedish mauser in 9,5x56 not even a 9x57
they were allways made in 9,3x57 than stepped up to 9,3x62
of course, when you go through swedish auction house catalogs you see a lot of german made 9x57, Mannlicher Schönauer in 9x56 and 9,5x56 also more than usual. only curiosity I remember years ago was a Mannlicher Schönauer (1905 ?) in 9,3x57. this was probably a post war project when original ammo became scarce. I bought a ammo lot once from sweden - different 9x57 Mauser cartridges from an estate with some 9x56 Mannlicher Schönauer in.
no doubt they shoot the 9x56 in 9x57 Mauser when on hand.
