Re: Geco Mauser 9,3*57, age?

If you handload, the 9.3x57 will duplicate the first 9.3x62 ammo and exceed it for ballistics. When the 9.3x62 first came out, according to John Taylor, the ammo that made it popular in Africa, drove a 286gr. soft or solid at 2,175fps.

The M46 Husky's as well as the M98 actioned 9.3x57's easily produce this level of ballistics.

My own 9.3x57 is running 232gr. at 2,450fps, 270 Speers at 2,300fps, 286 and 293gr. bullets at 2,200fps and 300gr. at 2,175fps. All of these shoot into less than 3/4" from my 1929 rifle.
