    WTS converted 8mm brass

    I have 800 8x57 brass cases for sale that I have converted from 30-06 military brass. Most all are LC but a few may be HXP or commercial. All have been fully prepped as follows:
    1: Deprimed
    2: Primer pocket uniformed
    3: Flash hole de burred
    4: Formed to 8mm with a Redding form & trim die
    5. Excess cut off with a mini-cut saw
    6. Mouth chamfered inside and out
    7. Mouth expanded to 32 caliber
    8. Case full length resized on a Redding FL die
    9. Case trimmed to specification on a Forster trimmer
    10. Case mouth again chamfered inside and out
    11. Case checked for headspace and length
    12. Cases tumble polished for 2 & 1/2 hours

    I will sell these for $35.00 per hundred plus $8.50 shipped in a US small flat rate box.

    Surely someone needs 8x57 brass for their mauser.

    TNsailorman - I know the rules say we can't have "discussions" in response to WTS postings - so I will ask a very "newbie" question . . . .

    Will this converted military 30-06 to 8 X 57 work as well in my 8mm Mauser as the converted commercial brass that I bought from you?

    The converted brass that I got from you before was absolutely beautiful - fit in my 8 X 57 cartridge gauge perfectly right out of the box and it was the best converted 30-06 to 8 X 57 I have ever purchased - flawless. If someone needs some really nice 8 X 57 brass - this looks great.

    If you could answer my "very newbie question" about the converted military brass - I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you - I'm considering getting more.

    Yes, it will fit your mauser and gauge the same as the commercial brass. I use a Forster case gage that measures both the case length on one end and the case headspace on the other end. Thank you for the kind words Jim

    Jim,

    Do you think you have 100 of the hxp stamped brass? If so, I'll take those.

    I already use LC stamped brass for my 1903a4. And that isn't something I want to mix up!

    Thanks!

    I found 33 more converted cases this evening that I had somehow was not counted into the first 6 items, so I am putting them into items 7 & 8. I included 5 extra cases in each 100 that I have already sold (items 1 thru 6) and just missed these 33 somehow. Just to be clear, items 1 thru 6 will have 105 cases in each box and item #7 will have 121 cases and item #8 will have 122 cases. Sorry if this confuses but I needed to add the 33 cases to a sell and the others are already sold and shipped. james
