Once this exercise is done, I move onto scaling up a 9mm Mauser

Mauser also made the '96 in 9mm Export, which was a .38 Super-class
round; the Shansei arsenal made a copy scaled to .45ACP! It's almost
as clunky as a Desert Eagle, but might be OK with a shoulder
stock.........


But what size are the bullet? Just the lead part - length and
diameter?
