I use a Hornady FL Die set & new RP 8x57 Brass. I neck them straight, then size in the Hornady FL die to place the shoulder in the proper location for 0 stretch on fireforming.
A "nose tapered(grinder)" .44 mag belling die can be used for expanding the new brass in one pass. I inside lubed the necks and in one pass, necked them straight with zero losses. I did not anneal them until after fireforming them.

The dies are plentiful and cheap compared to others. It's the brass that's the hard part so far.

Interesting rifle, a 98, too. Long forend.
Is that a cross bolt into a barrel boss I see at the front end of the stock, or location for a sling swivel bracket?

I'm getting close to the same point as you with a 9.3X57 but plan on using 8X57 or 30'06 brass since I have it.
Did that with my 9.5 and it works quite well and since I have only one rifle in this chambering, I'll just use my 9.3X62 dies to resize about half of the neck from here on.
That's the plan anyway...

Daryl it's for a sling swivel. Under the stock the stud is soldered on to the barrel.

Casper50, is your rifle really a 9.3x57 ? To me, your rifle looks like made for the German market. In Germany the 9x57 was a much more popular cartridge. The 9.3x57 was a Scandinavian number predominantly, virtually unknown in Germany before the 1970s imports of old Husquarna rifles from Sveden. As the 9.3x57 is better known in America, 9x57 rifles are often mistaken. Don’t rely on the words of a former owner or seller. Check the groove diameter of your barrel. A 9.3 should be .365” minimum, while a 9 is .356” minimum. Or, at least, check the German proofmarks under the barrel. A 9.3 will be marked 9,0 mm or 108.49, if pre-1912, while a 9 mm will be marked 8,7 or 8,8 mm or 118,35 for the bore/land diameter.

Kuduae The diameter of the chamber cast in the rifling is .363 to .365 inches.

That's nice. Wish mine had been that. It measured .370", yet shot 1" groups with 232gr., sized down .235gr., Speer 270gr., 285gr. Privi's., 293gr. TUG's and sized down 300gr. Horndys.
The sized bullets ran .367", while the commercials ran .365" to .366".
My bro now has the rifle with 286gr. Norma Alaskans loaded with 45gr. H4895, for 2,200fps. in the M96 23.4" bl. This load causes zero case web expansion on the expansion ring, from FL sized.
I ran sized down 300gr. at 2,170fps, same load, with .00025" (25 ten-thous) expansion in one or two spots only. This varied from case to case. The fired primers from both bullet weights are unchanged from newly seated, except for the dent in the middle.
Casper- 2,175fps is the velocity of the factory 286gr. 9.3x62 load of 1923(or so).
