==Loads==
Factory loads were manufactured with a {{convert|270|gr|
Ammunition and arms catalogs of the era describe a standard loading of a 270 gr "metal-covered" (i.e., jacketed) soft nose bullet. No other bullet weights or patterns are shown, although it is possible that full-metal-jacketed or other patterns or weights of bullets may have been produced at some time. Curiously, Kynoch lists loads for the 9.5mm Mannlicher–Schoenauer with a 45 grain charge of smokeless propellant (for a muzzle velocity of 2200 fps) and the ".375 Rimless Nitro Express" with a reduced 43 grain charge (for a muzzle velocity of 2100 fps).<ref>Standard Ballistics of Kynoch Central-Fire Metallic Cartridges, 1925</ref> This may have reflected the differences in the regulation of the sights by the respective manufacturers and distributors, between Westley Richards for the higher powered Mannlicher–Schoenauer loading and the trade rifles with the generic .375 Rimless Nitro Express loading.
Cartridge cases are available from specialist dealers in obsolete cartridges. However, cases are easily reformed from the nearly identical [[9.3×57mm]], or the [[7.92×57mm Mauser]]

==History==
Introduced in the 1910 Model rifle, the cartridge was quickly overshadowed performance-wise by the .375 H&H Magnum when it became available two years later (in 1912), albeit the latter was only available in magnum length or specially modified Mauser rifles and therefore remained for some time a more expensive alternative. The 9.5×57mm was still used in Africa into the 1950s.
As with most of the proprietary Mannlicher–Schoenauer cartridges, with the notable exception of the 6.5×54mm MS, the 9.5×57mm MS cartridge has not been produced by anyone other than [[Kynoch]] since the beginning of [[World War II]] (and only sporadically from them and their successors).{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}}
