Greetings,
Having determined to amass a quantity of cartridges for all my firearms, and having already been provided excellent information concerning 455 Webley ammunition made from 45 Auto Rim from persons on this very site, I have now come to the 8mm Rast Gasser revolver.
Fiocchi ammunition is nearly impossible to find, and I am going to use 32 H&R brass to make up some rounds. The bullet is the question. Buffalo Arms has an 85 grain copper washed .320 diameter RN bullet available. Though a bit on the light side, it looks like it might serve my purposes well.
Can anyone comment on this?
What would be a good starting load for this weapon?
Any other ideas on bullets?
Thanks.
