This is not exactly reloading, but more of replacing. Got some Hornady 205gr sp, .330" bullets from http://www.grafs.com, found a shell holder at Hornady, FMJ ammo from http://www.jgsales.com, and set to work.
Although my RCBS bullet puller collet was made for .323", it will work for the .330" bullets. The Bulgarians didn't use any bullet sealant, so that made the pulling operation easy.
Had to hunt around in my die storage to find a die that would seat the Hornady bullet over the factory powder. I had given my 8mm Lebel die set to my brother some years ago, so finally found the .308 Norma Mag seater had enough clearance for the fat case.
Now I have to wait until my left shoulder heals so I can hold my piece of Austrian craftsmanship in the horizontal position..
Nobama means no confiscation.
I like the Mannlichers, neat little rifles. Mine shoot mostly cast now, either the .329 Lee (mine drops at .330) or the .338 Lee sized dwon to .335. The .338 sized to .335 shoots better. I might try beagleing the .329 out to .331 or .332 and see what it does.
