Load data for ammunition in caliber7 x 50 Rwith all popular powders and suitable bullets, as well as ballistic statistics and technical specifications. 7 x 50 R Load Data Alternative names: 7 x 50 R, 7x50R Lancaster, 7mm Russian Berdan No. 3 Our load data for caliber 7 x 50 R covers 239 bullets from 34 manufacturers and a total of 15057 load recipes. Load Data Community Loads The 7 x 50 R caliber presents an intriguing option for ammunition reloaders and enthusiasts interested in European hunting and target rounds. This cartridge has its roots firmly planted in early 20th-century Central Europe, where the development of rimmed cartridges for break-action rifles and combination guns was of paramount importance. Originating in Germany and Austria, the 7 x 50 R was designed to offer moderate power in a format suitable for double rifles and break-open firearms, which were and remain popular across the continent. Its rimmed case, as indicated by the “R” suffix, allows for reliable extraction from manually operated and break-action hunting rifles—firearms that are especially cherished for traditional alpine and woodland hunting. In terms of application, the 7 x 50 R has historically been favored for its balance of moderate recoil with effective terminal ballistics over reasonable hunting distances. This has made it an ideal cartridge for use in light, handy rifles that are easy to carry through dense European forests or rugged terrain. Such rifles are often used in game drives or stalking scenarios where quick follow-up shots and ease of handling are valued. Notably, the 7 x 50 R’s design ensures safe operation in firearms with relatively simple lockwork, which is valuable for those using combination guns (e.g., drillings) that pair rifle and shotgun barrels for versatility in the field. Its manageable ballistics and traditional design make it a top pick for enthusiasts of classic hunting arms and those seeking a round with historical charm. When considering the target species for the 7 x 50 R, it stands out as a popular choice for medium-sized European game. It has seen extensive use against animals such as roe deer, chamois, and small wild boar—species for which excessive power is neither necessary nor desirable in terms of meat preservation and pelt condition. Hunters appreciate the caliber for providing ethical kills and sufficient penetration without causing undue tissue damage. The moderate energy levels and effective range of the cartridge make it suitable for engagements typically under 200 meters, well in line with most European hunting scenarios where visibility and shooting lanes are often limited by vegetation or terrain. For reloaders, the 7 x 50 R offers some flexibility in bullet selection and performance tuning. Typical bullet weights for this caliber range between 120 and 140 grains (around 8 to 9 grams), enabling a balance between flat trajectory and retained energy. The cartridge’s case capacity and moderate powder requirements also contribute to its reputation for efficient performance and relatively mild recoil. These characteristics make the 7 x 50 R enjoyable to shoot over prolonged sessions, whether for hunting or target shooting. The classic rimmed case construction ensures reliable extraction and makes this cartridge a favorite among traditionalists and those who favor break-action rifles. Cases and bullets are sometimes specialized products, so diligent sourcing is important, but for aficionados of historical and continental firearms, the 7 x 50 R remains a subject of fascination and practical use.

Load data for ammunition in caliber9.3 x 57with all popular powders and suitable bullets, as well as ballistic statistics and technical specifications. 9.3 x 57 Load Data Alternative names: 9.3 × 57mm Mauser, 9.3 x 57mm, 9.3mm Mauser Our load data for caliber 9.3 x 57 covers 96 bullets from 23 manufacturers and a total of 6048 load recipes. In addition, our members have shared 10 load recipes. Load Data Community Loads The 9.3 x 57mm cartridge, often referred to as the 9.3x57 Mauser, boasts a storied history that stretches back to the early 20th century. Born in Sweden, this round was originally designed for hunting large game in Scandinavian forests, with its roots strongly linked to the classic Mauser bolt-action rifles so prevalent throughout Europe at the time. Although less globally recognized than calibers like the .30-06 Springfield or 7x57 Mauser, the 9.3 x 57 earned a steadfast following in Sweden, thanks to its reliable performance and adaptability in harsh environments. Through the decades, it became particularly favored by hunters looking for a traditional, robust cartridge with substantial stopping power, perfectly suited for the thickly wooded landscapes of Scandinavia. In terms of application, the 9.3 x 57 excels as a big-game hunting round, valued most by those pursuing moose and wild boar in forested terrains. Its performance characteristics mirror a careful balance between effective power and manageable recoil, making it accessible even for shooters who may be sensitive to heavier-recoiling magnum cartridges. Today, while not as ubiquitous as some more modern or widely distributed calibers, the 9.3 x 57 still enjoys a loyal niche among European hunters, reloaders, and traditionalists who appreciate its history and effectiveness. In recent years, its reputation has grown within the reloading community, where enthusiasts have recognized its merits not just for classic rifles but also as a platform for tailored handloads to suit specific hunting scenarios. Target species for the 9.3 x 57 are primarily larger and more resilient game. It is most often used for moose, wild boar, deer, and even bear, particularly in the dense forests where shots are typically taken at moderate distances. The caliber's high sectional density and ample bullet mass provide reliable penetration and energy transfer, ensuring clean, ethical kills even on robust animals. This effectiveness has cemented its status as a reliable choice when hunting in temperate woodlands or regions where close encounters with dangerous or tough game are likely. As for caliber characteristics, the 9.3 x 57 uses a .366-inch (9.3mm) diameter bullet, typically paired with bullet weights ranging from 232 grains to 285 grains. The most popular projectiles for this cartridge usually fall in the 250–285 grain range, balancing expansion, penetration, and terminal performance. The cartridge is rimless and based on the 7.92x57mm Mauser case, necked up to accept the larger 9.3mm bullet. Ballistically, the 9.3 x 57 delivers velocities between 2100 and 2300 feet per second, depending on bullet weight and specific loading, all while maintaining moderate recoil—especially important for repeated shooting in the field. Brass, reloading dies, and component bullets for the caliber are still available from several reputable manufacturers, making it accessible for reloaders who value both tradition and versatility in their ammunition choices. This enduring cartridge remains a testament to the enduring appeal of classic European sporting calibers—capable, consistent, and confidence-inspiring for hunters and reloaders alike.

Sight Height: Line of sight above the center of the barrel muzzle. Temperature: Assumed temperature for trajectory calculation. Lower tempertures result in higher air density and a slightly larger drag and vice versa. Humidity: Assumed humidity for trajectory calculation. Higher humidity result in more water particles and a slightly larger drag and vice versa. Altitude: Assued altitude for trajectory calculation. Higher altitude results in lower air density and a slightly lower drag and vice versa. OZD: Optimum Zeroing Distance or Most Favorable Zero Range refers to the distance at which a rifle is sighted in so that the bullet's trajectory remains within a defined vertical margin — typically ±4 cm / ±1.75 '' — from the line of sight over a certain range. This means: The shooter can aim directly at the target up to the GEE without adjusting the scope or holdover. Within this range, the bullet stays inside the vital zone (for example, a deer’s kill zone, approximately 8 cm / 3.5'' high). OZD Max Height: Distance at which the max. OZD height is reached and max. OZD height OZD LoS Crossing1: Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the first time OZD LoS Crossing2 (OZD): Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the second time.
