Brass or ammo for 8x57R

[rgwhitman]

Recently acquired a Kropatchec rifle in eccellant shape. Any known source of ammo or reloadable brass in Canada?
I found reloading dies that are available fro Lee Reloading Tools so these rifles must be fairly common.

Hi RG.
First check that the rifle is not 8x60R as this is what I find in references. Also check the bore size as the early 8mm "J" bores were for .318" bullets and the later 8mm "S" bores were .323" dia.
If no drawn brass is available in the size you require check out

If a particular cartridge is not on the price list, call them up and inquire. They will turn any custom cartridge and are great people to deal with as well. Yes they ship to Canada.
Cheers
Jaguar
