8mm Nambu Cartridge Conversion

[sheepherder]

Just as a FYI, Midways has 8mm Nambu brass for ~$37/20rds...Current date is 15/16 Sept 2014..."Available"...

I only mention this because I've never heard of 'Bertram' reloading supplies...

Boy, at that price for the brass, one would search long and hard to locate every spent round.....approx. $185/100.

Or you could go back to the first post and roll your own...

So true. One just has to determine which is the "less painful'.

You'd be better off buying reloads from "Mr. Nambu" at a buck a piece! Cheaper, and you get to shoot 'em once before you reload!

Not cheap. Also don't know if its just MrNambu ammo being resold or what?

Nice looking ammo.

Brass is Huntington. HDS also sell the 8mm FMJ bullet.

HDS also sells the RCBS 8mm die set. There is a goodly wait (commented on in the 8mm Nambu thread).

I notice Ammo-One also has the 7mm Nambu reloads. $4.75 each. Made from 30 carbine brass.

$1 a rd if you buy three boxes; $1.49 for one cartridge.
