The problem with the 9.3x57 is that the lighter bullets are almost impossible to find, the 9.3x62 bullets are quite heavy for that case size, I could not find load data for it either.
Thanks, didn’t want a 62, whenever I see ammo for it, I will pick up 3 or 4 boxes. Kenogami gun shop usually have these weird calibers in stock. I will stop and check next time I drive by. No rush, I have other rifles. For now I was more looking for a work project. I will sand it down and stain it. Some nice wood on some of these old rifles. I had a Rem 750 in .35 Whelen, nice rifle and round. Can’t remember why I got rid of it. Haha

Oh I am all about weird cartridges, try to find ammo for a 8x56R, especially a soft point bullet 
Tradeex seems to have some lighter bullets, at least there is that option. They have Norma brass too but you could just fire form some 8x57 and save a pile of money there, Hornady Dies are $80 at the same place.
