The odd rifle caliber situation is remedied by finding brass and or modifying existing brass through some creative resizing. This is a much more challenging item to overcome based on the caliber chosen. And I'm assuming some advanced reloading skills for the rifle cartridge.
Obtaining brass is the easiest part of loading 9.3X72R ammunition. Factory bullets for that caliber are quite different from those used by other 9.3mm calibers, such as 9.3X57, 9.3X62 and 9.3X74R. Using those bullets would be like trying to load a .38-55 with bullets intended for the .375 H&H. Not only are the readily available bullets inappropriate for the velocity developed by the 9.3X72R cartridge, but the design of the more modern bullet shape does not allow a duplication of the original factory load. This makes trying to get a gun without a scope to shoot to the original point of aim with iron sights only quite difficult.
