Source for 9X57R (or 8X57R) brass
I need some properly marked brass for my 9x57r Cape Gun. Most places are carrying fire formed .444 marlin in lieu of the real thing. Anybody have a source for new brass? Worst case I could use 8x57r and just expand the neck. The rifle caliber is NOT MARKED so I have considered just using the much cheaper/more avaiable 8x57r and filling out my 4457 with that caliber info and carrying my "custom" 8x57 loads with me to Zim. Any help would be appreciated.

Have a look in the Reimer Johannsen catalogue

Just checked and as I thought brass for both the 9x57R and 9.3x57R are listed as being made by Huelson-Horneber http://www.huelsen-horneber.de/hliste_engl.html

Sorry I cant help with a distributor other than Johannsen as posted above.
