  • Type A - SP for hunting 250–500 kg animals
  • Type B - FMJ for hunting 70–250 kg animals

Notes

9×53mmR

This cartridge should not be confused with 9.3×53mmR Finnish which has similar dimensions, but a slightly larger bullet (71.45 mm overall cartridge length)[9] and, more important, higher maximum pressure - 340 MPa.[10]
