My nephew has decided he wants to try out his Dad's old sporterized 8mm Mauser this fall for deer hunting. I don't load for this round or any 8mm round for that matter. Going to need dies and bullets, and possibly brass. My BIL thinks he has a fair amount of brass, but hasn't looked to be sure yet. I posted about this over in the hunting rifles forum, and the advice I got was to start with bullets in the 150gr range, so this is the weight of bullets I'd be most interested in.

Let me know what you've got available.

I have some .323 Sierra bullets and I think I may have a couple boxes or so of 150gr. If interested I will check this evening and see what I have. They are the older style green cardboard box Sierra spitzers. Still load for my 8mm but don't shoot it a lot so can probably help you out.

My nephew is 12, and although he's tall for his age, the 200s might be a bit much.

I'd definitely be interested. Let me know what you find.
