Guy I met got a Model 13 Murata.
Very nice condition.
Want to get it shooting again.
Looks very close to a 43 Mauser.
Closest parent case looks like 348 Win.
8mm Lebel would work, but it's a little short.
Anyone have any experience with making these????
348 will work! I just sold a Siamese Mauser in 348 and The deal included 500 pieces of new brass, 250 cast bullets and loading dies! Grab it when you find it cause it doesn’t come up for sale often!
Good luck!
450-400 Nitro Express Hornady brass will work as good parent brass.

Friend gave me some 348 to try.
Good to have good friends.
Any suggestions for a mold?????
Assuming (there's that word again) you can find any info on the original projectile, have a custom mold made by Accurate.
