One of my buddies recently purchased a nice old Hanel (spelling could be wrong) single shot schuetzen in the 8.15x46R !
Before he bought it I loaded some mild 32-40's with the Lyman PB mold you can still purchase . And we tried it at the range . Shot pretty well I thought for a stab in the dark .
Anyway I have since ordered a set of CH4D dies along with a .321" sizer and I gave him 50 pieces of 32-40 brass of which 25 had already been fire formed in the rifle .
I've also lent him a Ideal "Perfection" adjustable mold and a Ideal loading tool with the mold attached to cast bullets for this rifle .
Now my question !
The case for this thing is "supposed" to be 46 millimeters correct ?
So that means we need to trim a good deal from the cases correct ? I am just surprised the untrimmed 32-40's went into the rifle if this is the case !
Also do any of you guys who shoot this round breech seat your ammo at the bench ?
