I am speaking with the good people at Dorleac about them Building me a switch barrel mauser on a FZH action. My thought is a 9.3x62 and a flatter shooting cartridge that is very common to simplify ammo in the great north and Africa. I don't think a 7x57 will feed perfectly so I was thinking a 270 Winchester or maybe a 30-06.

Am I missing an obvious better second cartridge?

If keeping the same basic cartridge is preferred and you like the 7mm caliber there's the .280 Remington which is ballistically similar to the 7x64mm but uses the 30-'06 parent case. Norman4
