If I do a project with this action, I lean toward a 9x57. I already have a double rifle in that caliber and like it.
This should require absolutely no modification of the feeding rails or ramp.

This is another great cartridge.
All three; 9, 9.3 and 9.5 x57's are really fine cartridges for lightweight hunting rifles, and given good bullets will perform very well on der, bear, elk and moose. If I didn't already have the 9.3x57's and was going to have a >8mm built, it would be a tough choice as to which of the three I'd get. The 9.5 is awfully appealling due to the large variety of .375 bullets available, along with the cast bullet options as well, but there are sufficient bullets available in all three calibers.
The latter is another plus for all three in that near factory-velocities should be no problem with cast bullets in the heaviest weights for each. I just ordered a mold for my 9.3 and plan to work up some loads in the near future.
I do wish Graf's would bring in more of the Prvi Partizan 285 9.3 grain bullets. I have had super results on game with them in my x57's and they were inexpensive to-boot.
