With regard to the S&B bullets being larger than the groove diameter of a specific rifle, they are designed and manufactured to avoid excessively increasing the pressures when used in such rifles. With regard to the ammo being expensive, it certainly is, but seems to be about the same as pre-covid prices while other cartridges are considerably more costly. The long-term cost of shooting a 9.3x72R can be moderated by reloading the S&B cases, which are boxer primed.
