Exactly.

So, ASSuming Taylor's experiences were legit, I wonder if the 9.5 bullets of the day were extremely thin-jacketed or otherwise disadvantaged in some really significant way in contrast to the 9.3's. In those days choices were few, and factory ammo the only stuff Taylor had experience with. Nevertheless, that 9.5 Mannlicher looks like a good round for bushveld hunting of general antelope and would seem to have nearly the same level of performance as the 9.3x62, at least close enough to be acceptable to Taylor even if not quite as highly regarded.

A couple of both bullets sectioned might help tell the tale...
