Der Ami;
Thank you for your comments on the line of 9.3x72R cartridges. I have been able to determine that the beautiful double rifle belonging to Chris is chambered for one of the smaller so called 9.3x72R cartridges from his comment on using .358" diameter projectiles--or at least is is smaller than the 9.3x72R Sauer cartridge listed in the QuickLoad data base and must be a cartridge that is the same or nearly the same as the other 9.3x72R (.360) cartridge listed in that data base.
With your knowledge of the European cartridges and your comment on the different groove diameters I hope that you can tell me what is the historical reason that these "small" cartridges that are called 9.3x72R when they are about 9mm in size; or if they are not actually 9mm in size their projectiles are clearly nearer 9mm than 9.3mm?
Further to this I was contemplating what is the most common propellant that re-loaders use for these "small 9.3x72R" cartridges and is a flat nose projectiles most commonly used?
Kind Regards;
Stephen Howell
