Picked another old goody 1910 mannlicher schoenauer in 9.5x56.it had set in a basement for 30yrs anyway it's off getting professionally restored.anyone reload for that caliber.dies seem an issue what I've read 06 cases can be sized and shortened.kynock seems the only ammo out there.
 
Nice pick up, I have been after one for a while, got 5-6 1900/1903 in 6.5x54 cool old rifles.

Some before pictures would of been nice & later the rifle cleaned up maybe ?

There is a chap who is all over every forum when any MS is mentioned & I'm sure he will show up here shortly to give his info on the 1910 that he has .

Good luck with yours !
 
You might be able to use 8x57 necked up. Maybe have to trim a bit. I haven't looked up the dimensions, could be worth a look.
 
Reed's makes good stuff, formed from 9.3X57 Norma brass that is first drawn straight, then sized.

I have made 9.5X57 (.375 Nirto Express Rimless) from .35 Whelen brass sized with a single pass through RCBS dies, then trimmed to proper length.

Details may be found here: MS

Reeds 9.5X57 (as described above), My old handload from RP .35 Whelen (as described above), original (1926 coded) DWM531, Fired case my .35 Whelen handload.

New brass from Quality Cartridge (Qual-Cart) may be found from time to time. Watch Grafs, Midway, ... .

These fit and feed well; good luck finding them (buy when you can):

Make them to these precise specifications (including bullet shape / profile) and they'll feed like greased snot on butter through Otto Schoenauer's marvelous rotary magazine. Any variance from overall length or projectile shape will likely cause jams:

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
