 This performance ranks the 9.5×57mm on par with or superior to similar medium-bore cartridges such as the 9×56mm Mannlicher–Schoenauer, 9×57mm Mauser, .35 Winchester, .348 Winchester, .358 Winchester and 9.3×57mm.It was superior to the well-established British .375 Flanged Nitro Express, which only developed about 1950 to 2000 fps with the same weight of bullet, and tread closely on the heels of the well-regarded .400/350 Nitro Express and .400/360 Westley Richards cartridges, howbeit these benefitted from a bullet weight of significantly greater sectional density.Since this is normally shot from a rifle, the recoil is quite vigorous.
