Reloading 8 X 56mm Hungarian

Not exactly common. Reloading dies, etc., will be a special order thing. RCBS wants a ton of money for their dies. Fortunately, Hornady makes 'em. Lee does too.
Bertram(Australian) appears to be the only manufacturer(although Privi makes the ammo. May not be available here. 8 x 56 RS Mannlicher). Shooter's Choice, in Waterloo, Ont., wants $78.95 per 20 and they'll have to order it. Runs $63.99US per 20, Stateside.
7.62 x 54R can be reformed into it, but that requires a forming die.
Uses a .329" bullet. Nobody makes a jacketed bullet. There might be a mold for a cast bullet though.
