Sorry to ask a newbie question, but I want to handload 8x56R (Hungarian/Mannlicher) and new brass is super expensive and spotty in availability. My initial reaction is don’t handload old WW2 cartridge casings just because of age, corrosion, brittleness, etc but I want to get the advice of people who know better. Should I just buy the expensive brass cases and be done with it? Anyone have experience reloading these? Thanks.
I understand I can reshape 7.62x54R brass, which maybe is a better alternative and from what I can tell, the OAL will be a little shorter which won’t be an issue as it is rimmed. Anyone have experience with that and any advice to share there?
Thanks
