Obtaining brass and dies for 8x58R

[ratherbefishin]

I admit a fascination for the old Rolling Blocks-specifically the Swede 8x58R at Tradeex -but the challange seems to be obtaining brass and dies.Where is the best source-and can they be imported from the US if neccesary?

"...can they be imported from the US..." Exporting dies from the U.S. is no problem. Brass requires the U.S. export permit.
Shooter's Choice, in Waterloo, Ontario, lists Bertram brass at $78.95 per 20. Special order thing too.
The 8x58R Danish is for Krag bolt actions. Different rim thickness. Uses a #2 RCBS shell holder and .318" bullets.
Have a look at Dutchman's post here. He seems to have done the research on loading for a rolling block.

I think Trade-Ex sells the dies, and I've simply fireformed 8x56R Hungarian to fit the chamber. Works great, and the brass is cheap. I've heard that the Bertram brass is of rather poor quality, and it's very expensive.

I made my 8X58R brass from 45-70 brass.

Had to file a couple thou off the rim and they come out a little short but the price is right. My dies came from CH4D.
