8mm rem mag brass

[hawk-i]

Has anyone seen any 8mm rem mag brass kicking around any gun stores?

Or loaded ammo?

Remington has not offered brass for the 416Rem mag or 8mm Rem mag in decades.

Awesome caliber(s).

A few 700 Classics ,Custom Shop & BDL's on location.

Nosler made some brass about five years ago, 25 count boxes

I have a quantity of that Nosler brass, but of course I also have the rifle to use it in, so am keeping it, lol. Dave.

Perhaps some 7mmSTW brass would work?

I will be making some 350RM out of 7mmRM. And I thought I had a steady supply. I guess you will be making some out of 300H&H or may be 375H&H .

P&D had some a little while back. Old stock maybe. It's a great cartridge. You can always make what you need from 375 H&H too. - dan

300 weatherby is the head stamp on all of mine. 300 weatherby is easy to find and cheap

I'm going to take Eagleye up on an offer! THX

It really is a marvelous cartridge. Easy to push 220 gr bullets at 3000 fps with RL25. I also have a 340 Wby, and there is little difference on game. I prefer the "big 8" though. - dan

I've got 220 sierra's on hand but was thinking of ordering some of these

I shoot both the 200 A-Frame [3180 fps] and the 220 A-Frame [3060 fps] in my "big 8"
Very effective chambering. Shot a bull elk with the 220 at 415 yards....DRT. Did not
recover that bullet, but the lung damage was impressive. Dave

I've been reading about hammer bullets for a while now but haven't had the opportunity to try them. I did run some 250 Woodleighs through my 8 Rem Mag though. Shot well enough for big game. - dan

I used up the last of my 220 A frames. Need to look for more. Would be nice if nosler would bring out an accubond in that weight too. - dan

Wow, I found some factory loaded 8mm Rem Mag ammo...but things went fuzzy after I heard the price (I think he said loaded with 220 A-frame)...160.00 for 20 rounds!

OMG, I needed to take 2 81 MG Aspirins after hearing that!

Many years ago I bought my first 338 Lapua ammo and that was what I paid. Italian sporting goods in Vancouver. No one else had any. - dan

.375 H&H is not too hard to find and very easy to convert to 8mm Rem Mag... that is the way I would go. $1.50 each is cheap brass.

Yup. Used it for my 340, 8mm RM, 358 STA, and a few other Wildcats. Easiest way to go. - dan

.300 Weatherby aren't too bad for price and at least its quality brass that will last.
