Mike;
Thank you for the history of the small 9.3mm cartridges. Interesting comment about the sweep of the taper of the case instead of straight taper.
What time frame are you referencing as to when the standardization committee worked out a set of dimensions? It must have been before 1939.
Can one assume then that the loads for these cartridges now in 2025 would likely use such propellants as 3031, 4198 and so forth? I see on the web that Buffalo Arms has the 193g bullets;Is there another projectile maker who makes the 193-g bullet for hand loaders today? Is there any accuracy or ballistic advantage to using a 193grain bullet for the small 9.3x72R versus using say the Hawk 200 grain bullet of the same diameter?
