Anyone have any experiance with this round? We just bought a nicely sporterized Mauser K98 that had been reamed to 8mm Gibbs. Guy at a pawn shop knew that we reload and offered us the rifle for $200! Ive found out a good deal about the round and it has impressive ballistics. Biggest problem Ive found is that dies are $180 bucks and take 4-6 months to get from RCBS!!! Pretty simple to make, neck 30-06 up to ~35 caliber and then run the case through the 8mm Gibbs die to neck it back down and give it a small shoulder then fire form them. Anyone have a set of dies they wanna get rid of? For the price of the dies I can buy a short chambered new barrel in 30-06 and swap it out.
