Demand For S&B 8x57 Once Fired Brass

[joe6167]

I was just wondering if there is any demand for S&B 8x57 JS once fired brass amongst reloaders. I used to shoot PPU 8mm Mauser, but it's getting harder to find so I'm starting to consider the S&B ammo.

It is good brass. makes good reloads for both 8mm and 7mmx57.

It's also good brass for making 9.3x57, necks up to .36 caliber very nicely.

Thanks!

I have to wonder, though, the S&B ammo is loaded hotter than the PPU ammo, so therefore, wouldn't the S&B brass be stronger than the PPU?

S&B and PPu are good brass. Most guys new to the caliber will shoot a couple hundred factory loads just to have the brass for reloads. I also picked up a couple hundred Norma unfired brass cases, they are also very good quality. Last year I think I paid 30 cents each for high quality Norma brass unfired.
