Nambu question - need an expert

DavidJayUden · 02-11-2011, 11:13 PM

I've been picking up Nambu's when I can, and bought several boxes of ammo from Mr. Nambu and took it to the range. Really did shoot nice. Right on the money and functioned perfectly. Cost averaged out to just under a buck a bang. Not cheap but not so bad that I can't go try out a new gun.
Anyway, Nambu's have a charm all their own, and I'll not turn my nose up at a mismatched bolt if the price is right.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Nambu does make the 7mm as well. I wish I could afford the Baby Nambu to shoot the bullets out of.

from the digging I've done, it seems the easiest and cheapest way into 8mm ammo is to buy the CH dies (about 75.00 - RCBS dies are twice that!) and run once-fired .357 SIG brass thru em....you can find the brass for about $40/1000....I don't shoot my Nambu much, but I'm thinking of trying it.
