DonZ, with regards to CIP newly manufactured ammunition I know of only one option, which should be available through your local rifle smith:
Dorfner ammunition, from Vienna (Austria), see https://www.waffen-dorfner.at/seltene-buchsenpatronen/ . Excellent ammunition that I use for all the range of MS proprietary calibers. In case you couldn't find a rifle smith willing to import them in Stuttgart, I could put you in contact with my supplier in North East France (Alsace, near Strassburg, not such distant from your location) that may supply. Dorfner 9,5x57 MS come in 17,5 grams Teilmantel; c. Euro 110 or 120 per box of 20 rounds.
Good luck with your hunt in Poland.

Louis,

I just wanted to thank you again. My local shop was able to contact Dorfner, and I now have enough to BZO and hunt. If I save the brass I should be able to find someone to help me reload.

I was also able to source 10 rounds of Kynoch on eGun. Not sure their age, which makes me a little nervous, and they are probably corrosive primers. They are also solid (full metal jacket), so if I do fire them, they will probably be for target.

I haven't found headspace gauges, and that's probably a bridge too far. Using shims, I think it's between .004 and .008, so I should be OK.

Thanks again everyone for all your help! Range report to come when I can get to the range.
