Okay a while back I bought a Danish Krag that is in 8x58RD. I have some factory ammo from Norma. A month ago I stumbled over myself to buy RCBS dies for it for a whole $15. I now have the dies and when I looked at my brass, it is Berdan. Grrrrrr! Anyway, I have been reading and it appears that many have been using 8x56 brass and sizing them, in essence to a short Krag empty. I'm not opposed to do this and so I just ordered some from Graf, as well as a shell holder. Now here comes some of my questions for all of you that have been doing this: Does this only work for the rolling block rifles? Do I have to make any changes to the rim to work for this rifle? What shell holder do you use?
I plan to only shoot cast bullets in it, except for maybe a box of Norma's just to check out the strength, but only after I shoot cast in it. Any help will be appreciated.
