I just read in the Exchange Forum about someone selling an M95 Carbine with some new Hornady Ammo in 8x56R. :) Does anybody know any more about this ammo such as cost, availability, etc. If it's available in Canada for a reasonable cost I'd buy several boxes for my 2 M95s and save any leftover brass as I am just getting into reloading and casting. Please help!

Regards,

Thanks for your replies. I've emailed Bcredneck on bullet and die availability and checked the Higginsons Powders Price List for the dies, mould, sizing kit and case trimmer. It looks like I'll eventually be able to load hunting and cast loads for these interesting rifles.

That was mine that I picked up in the U.S. It is in fact Graf brass loaded with 205gr softpoints, and nice new brass at that! It was 20.99 US a box of 20, and it's nice stuff for a reloader...

It has been out as loaded fodder for well over a year IIRC. It can be had in Canada, if you can find a dealer willing to bring it in. You could pm m0nkyman, who had a dealer who was willing to supply it, though I don't think m0nkyman ever pursued it futher than that.
 
I emailed Bcredneck and recieved a reply stating that they will be getting some of the bullets and brass in about a week's time. I'll ask them about the ammo as well and will keep you all informed about the results. Thanks for all your help.
