Marrakai:

I gotta follow this one! I'll be hunting vicariously thru you for a while when this one gets unlimbered!

My first critter shot with the 9.3x57 was a 1000 lb steer that "went native" after wolves ran it thru the fence. It and another lived like elk up the mountain and took several weeks to get close enough to to shoot. I used a really badly sized Hornady 270 grain Spire Point but man did it wreck that steer. 1st shot was about 70 yards, dropped like a rock and rolled toward me down the steep slope, flattening small trees and brush and bellowing the whole way. Next shot was at about 30 when it raised its head for a second. Both shots exited and internal damage was dramatic and extensive.

With modern powders, the 57mm case really comes into its own. You are REALLY going to like that 9.5!!

I will be interested to see what you think about the 9.5 M/S, especially if you start piling up trainloads of pigs and buff as you are wont to do!!

I wish I was there, bags full of 9.3x57 to compare with your 9.5...

Be careful of the 300 grain Hornady. It has acted like a FMJ in some of my testing. Sometimes it expands, sometimes it rivets and acts like a rivetted FMJ. I have a post here documenting the testing.

Like Daryl, I use 8x57 brass in my 9.3x57's.

Your little jewels look like just that! Nice job!

Keep us posted!!
