I have built a rifle, a Yugo 98 action with krieger barrel chambered for the cartridge mentioned above. I have a custom reloading die on the way from Redding. I have 8x57 Lapua brass....very expensive, Im hoping it is worth it. All this being said, I have questions. How much trouble will I...

OK, I purchased 100 Lapua 8x57 brass, its here. I have a full length resizing die coming from Redding. The question is: how hard is it to use this die on 8x57 and not have issues with the neck, the 40° shoulder, or buckling the case? Any knowledgeable advice will be greatly appreciated, Thanks....

ok so will get 8x57 brass from lapua and size them to fit my chamber....thanx

This is a mauser action with 30" heavy palma contour barrel (krieger) ...So maybe looking at slower burning powders...anyone have experience with this arrangement?

understood

actually very good, and slick...but I blueprinted and polished many parts....

Mc Cameron, send me the cas to buy an Atkas and I will be glad to do so! ☺

Seg Sergeant, it is not quite finished...I need to throat the chamber, I have fireformed some brass though...it is 7X57 AI..

Thank you!!

no sense in getting getting offended, I dont want to go through that troubke thank you. I am already having to turn necks and fireform cases, I dont want much more effort in this already 5 year project! Also I am not wealthy nor am I arrogant about what I do....but thanks for the response

OK, and how do I do that?

Yup! After looking same problem here...seems 8 X57 military brass not exactly like 7x57 commercial brass....it is working now thanks for the tip! I used a dremel kraton wheel

Ok so where do I find RWS brass in bulk ( like 200 cases or more) as I plan to shoot this rifle a lot! Thank you for the replies it is appreciated. Also, I read reviews on prvi partisan brass....cheaper not lapua, but good consitent brass...anyone concur with this?
