| abstract | - Factory loads were manufactured with a round-nose bullet at from (from the carbine) to (from the rifle). Since this is normally shot through a rifle, the recoil is quite vigorous. The recoil energy of from this combination is about 50% more than an average American 30-06 rifle, but light by the standards of other African game cartridges such as the .375 H&H Magnum. According to Cartridges of the World, the round was introduced with a soft point bullet possibly suitable for European game, but which did not perform well on dangerous game. Later loads included more suitable solid jacketed bullets. Hollow points were also manufactured. Cartridge cases are available from specialist dealers in obsolete cartridges. However, cases are easily reformed from .30-06 or 7.92x57mm Mauser family designs. When handloading the cartridge for the original rifle, reloaders use a bullet that is very close to the original weight and shape to ensure reliable feeding. Factory ammunition from the post World War II period was prone to this problem. Curiously, the solution was to load only every other chamber of the magazine. The disadvantage of this arrangement was that the bolt had to be cycled twice before the next shot could be fired, clearly an undesirable situation for any hunting firearm.

This development by or on behalf of Steyr was probably an answer to the development by the noted British gunmaking firm of Holland & Holland in 1905 of their .400/.375 Rimless Belted Nitro Express, designed for their specially modified Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle (they imported the actions from Austria, but built the rifles in house). Whether the development of the 9.5 x 57 mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer cartridge originated with OWS or with Holland's British competitor, Westley Richards certainly was the principal promoter of the new 1910 Model Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle as evidenced by catalogs of the time. The 9.5 × 57mm MS is the last pre-war proprietary cartridge by Steyr and their most powerful until the recent advent of the .376 Steyr, which has its antecedents in the 9.5 x 57mm.[citation needed]
