If a group were to get together, order supplies, and split the costs it would be beneficial for all concerned.

Having to acquire the license and a ton of insurance to protect my butt puts me into the "no way" zone. I have plenty of equipment to turn out the product, but no desire to be arrested or sued. Anyone wanting to shoot their Nambu a fair amount, really should consider handloading.

Interest in reloading the 8mm Nambu must be picking up. Huntington has both their own branded cartridge cases and FMJ bullets in stock at reasonable prices.

I agree with Sheepherder that the component prices that he posted are reasonable for this antique caliber. The brass prices are not cheap, but one can use, and use the same brass forever if you don't load it hot. The bullet price is likely less then $.08 each if ordering 1K or more.....not out of line!! The dies you only purchase once.

Mr. Nambu included a slip of paper saying he could reload the brass - I took it to mean that he loaded the originals as well. *shrug*

Yeah, Ed Tinker shot off all the war surplus 8mm Nambu years ago...
