Drillings aren't regulated except to the sights. Unfortunately, the Sauer is too big for any existing brass, even the 9.3x74 is smaller in the head, but it would work for this low pressure round; certainly you do not want to rechamber it to the 74r though. So, I would get a set of dies and make brass from the 9.3x74R; I will have to check on the rim though. There is really no brass suitable to make the Sauer from though. Some have soldered tubing onto .44 mag cases and formed those.

A little searching here yeilded this info "The little 9.3X72Sauer is often confused with the 9.3X72R straight cased round, but the Sauer & Sons cartridge has a slight bottle neck. The proper weight bullet for this round is a 186 gr, brass, and load data are no longer available. Short cases can be made from 7X57R cases, with a little work. A load for the cartridge in these short cases is 186 gr, flat nose bullet, 42.2 grs of Bl-c2. (Reference: Page 932 of the (Handloader's Manual Of Cartridge Conversion) by John J. Donnelly"

In 100 years who of us will care? An armed society is a polite society! Just because they say you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.
