Cheap 8mm projectiles for reloading

[UCSPanther]

I've been looking over "economy" projectiles (IE Frontier CMJ, Berry's), and I have not seen any .323 aka 8mm.

Are there any 8mm round suppliers, or is there no demand for inexpensive 8mm reloading components (IE 8mm mauser).

A better question might be:
"What's the best .323 bullet I can afford"

I was given some that were real trash in all my 8mm rifles.
My shotguns group better. Dumped them.
Not worth wasting the powder and primers.

My rule, Short range- budget bullets.
In this case Hornady .323 170gr are ok

Long range- the best I can afford for the rifles that prove themselves accurate enough to deserve them. Hornady .323 196gr.
Wished Berger made .323!

I long ago came to the conclusion that blasting away ammo quickly was a waste of money, wasted practice time and did nothing good for my barrels. I try to make every shot count.

if your ok with using lead bullets you could probably start casting your own for fairly cheap

there ain't NO such thing- cheap bullets come in COMMONLY available calibers( 223, 30, etc) that the manufacturers produce IN BULK- the 323 aka the 8mm falls into the hunting round spectrum, and that's why you have to pay premium prices - norma makes a farily decent bullet for it, as do a bunch of others,but you run into import charges - the situation reverses itself when in europe, where the 8mm is king and your 30 cal is a "hunting" round-the cheapest 8mm you get is milsurp, and those vary in construction and weight- it'sthe army, so any old slug will do- that's the attitude of most bulk bullet makers- - i've seen a variance of as much as 4 grains on 30 cal milsurp- the "hunting" bullets they get a bigger dollar for fewer bullets, so the tolerances are tighter
