Reload 8x50r mannlicher please

[cowboyy]

Can you help me? I bought a Mann-Linchart 95 in its original 8x50R caliber.

I didn't think it would be so hard to find ammunition. I have a reloading machine, but I don't have any brass.

Follow the link, lots of info about reloding the 8x50R ammo: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...k-from-the-brink.2504579/page-3#post-20918997

I used 8x56r brass cut down. Some have apparently used 7.62x54r.

It isn’t super difficult to reload for once set up, just a bit of work to initially get the brass sorted out.

I hope you find what you are looking for, now that you have 3 threads on the same subject.

And you reload with 8x50r mannlincher die set ?

Yes. You have to cut the brass down a bit, and form the brass with a 8x50r mannlicher die set. Once the brass is formed it is the same as reloading any other round.
