Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. I was expecting a long process to make 9.5x57 from 30-06. As it turned out my 9.3x53 Swiss is a set of CH4D dies and the long tapered expander fits the CH4D 9.5x57 dies, the 9.3 expander small end is about .284 so trim the 30-06 to length, one pass over the 9.3 expander, install 9.5 expander set the shoulder back until the bolt will just close, & anneal. Thanks to a Foster drill press trimmer I paid $15 for 40 years ago, the whole process to form took about 3 hours for 20 cases.
