Looking for 8x57mm ammo

**Redice** · 27-07-2013, 10:52

I am having a hard time Tracking down some 8x57mm rounds in the Limpopo area (to be specific I live 60km from the Botswana border), anybody know if there is any suppliers in the area? Its for a 1957 Spanish Mauser so pretty sure its bore is .323

HAve you considered reloading? It gives you some opportunities. Otherwise you could ask the nearest kooperasie to order you something specific - that is if you can provide them the details.

Remington makes some, Shootersmarket stocks them:

Will need to look the Remington's know american 8x57mm ammo is very under powered

Remember reading American 8x57mm rounds are similar to the 30-30 in power while the European rounds are closer to the 30-06

Have tracked down some Selliers and Bellot from City Guns but not sure how its going to get here

EDIT:
Forgot to add I would love to reload bullets but unfortunately I dont have any reloading tools at the moment

City Guns can post them. Also, call the gunshops in Pta - I'm sure you can arrange something. VLT always had some less common calibres on the shelf, but it was a while ago.

Finally got some ammo - 200 grain Sako Hammerheads

Payed R560 per pack which was a bit more than I wanted to pay but they are really high quality rounds

Going to be shooting in a couple of hours really excited as this will be my the biggest round I have ever fired so hoping the recoil wont be to bad
