The rifle isn't here yet so I don't know if it wants .318 or .323. At least I'll know where to look. NRA Benefactor 2008 NRA Patron 2007 NRA Endowment 1996 NRA Life 1988

I like simple cup-and-core bullets for this. I once had an 8X58R Sauer drilling rechambered to 8X57R. It probably was risky, but it worked out well in that one case.

I have tried all these 3 sources you listed and ammo has been unavailable since I started looking about 7 months ago. I want to stay away from Bertram primer cases. BillK I was at IWA (european shot show) last week and there is a supplier near me that produces new cases correct cal headstamped I saw one on his desk. I have a drilling in this cal so am ordering 100 for me. He is not happy about shipping stuff to the usa re product liability risks (understandable) but as they are new maybe thru a 3rd party takes him off the hook. 130 euros for 50 pieces shown on his list. http://www.huelsenmanufaktur.de/images/downloads/SHM-Preisliste.pdf Regards Martin Last edited by bavarianbrit; 03/10/17 11:36 AM.
