Got a "sale" email this morning, and their sale includes a lot of unusual brass like 8x50R French, 8mm kurz and 8x56R Hungarian. If you reload for surplus guns it might be worth checking out.

I recently purchase a box of Privi 8x56R for my Steyr M95. I have not fired any yet and will do do soon. I did pull one of the bullets and noticed the brass to be boxer primed. I also miked the bullet and found it to be the correct diameter for the bore;329.
I have always wanted to reload this caliber, however there is no source of .329 bullets thus the only option would be to cast them.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
