Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Anybody Loading for a Steyr 8x56R ?

If so, what are you using for gas checks ?? The base on my cast bullets is .303 the sizing die is .330 Would appreciate any help

Don't know whether to use .338 or .323----

.323 GC's will allow a MAX of .301 dia for the GC shank
.338 GC's will allow a MAX of .327 dia for the GC shank.

so you're saying that the GC shank on your projectile is .303 in dia?

I would recommend the 338 GC's.

I may have some for sale here shortly if you need some.
$24 per 1,000
$8 shipping for up to 5,000 of them.
(copper GC's)

Thanks for writing back!! Will get back with you on the GC's--gotta get to the feed store before noon !!!!
