i have more brass than i could use ( although i do like to keep some in reserve cos well you never know) if you need some , i wont palm off my sellier and bellot would be highland most likely maybe federal . what make 8mm you running? old m98?

Going to be 2 of them, one is a Czech VZ33 and the other is a Yugoslavian M48. Another things we don't know but will have to look at is do we have to keep our spent casings separate for each rifle? If I have ones fired to my M48 and the Mrs is using her VZ33 we are not going to get the full benefits if we don't keep them separate? Better to ask now before we have a pile of spent casings and no idea what rifle they went in....... too late on the other brass we already have though.

Cheers :-)
