Joe,
Where do you get such a book?

I can't read German but, I'd love to look at the pictures.

Is there any information on the 9,5x47R cartridge in the book??
Loading data, powder, bullets?
Results from the time, and so on?

The 8,15x46R is a documented proven accurate cartridge, though I have seen little information from the time about performance of the 9,5x47R.
I like to read old documents of the rsults from the time. 

Thanks for your reply´s Biggi!
Do you know anybody shooting with the 9,5x47R today with any sucsess?
What do they use?
I have a Imman Meffert with Mauser m/71 type action, the rifle is like new.
The barrel twist is very slow 1-26" and will shoot bullets of maximum 220gn.
My groups have not been as good as I was hoping for.

I suspect that evolution of the 9.5 and the 8.15 were very much parallel to the way the .38-55 and the .32-40 evolved on this side of the Atlantic. And for pretty much the same reasons, less recoil and the evolutionary transition to smokeless powders; perhaps the transition to matches with longer courses of fire where recoil began to be a factor. 
   I recently traded a nice unmarked martini stalker that had real strong Swiss characteristics in the 9.5x47r with a custom mold from Accurate Molds with it that was based of drawings form an original German Bullet supply house catalogue.   
   If you do a search of the site archives over the past several years using 9.5x47r as your search term you should find a number of threads discussing the loading and shooting of the cartridge.

Yes Fred, there are the very nice American target rifle books. 
With a lot of pictures of rifles and also a lot of pictures of the goblets and medals and beer steins and history and and and...

I love all three books.

But this book is more for a shooter who is interested in the technique of the action/system of a rifle.
And the book shows and explains more than 200 different actions which were built back then.
Most of the rifles have also added the history of the maker / gunsmith.

Its another target group for this book, one cannot compare the content with the nice American books of Tom & Co.

Hi, I have been shooting a Martini action schutzen rifle in 9.5X47R for three years or so. Brass is made from 45-70  though one can find actual 9.5X47R from Bertram, very pricey. The twist on my barrel is 34" groove 9.85 .388 I have  a couple of molds I designed made by Mountain Molds with bullets from 180 to 205 grains with a slow twist I try to keep the bullets short  .389 diameter. 
I use N110 powder 14 grains is sort of the norm here in Europe for this caliber but I prefer a bit more I use 16 grains. Typically accuracy is very good at my usual distance 100 meters 110 yards.
