    I am looking for Japanese 8x53mmR for a Murata Type 22 Carbine.
    All I can find is a wikipedia page on this cartridge and others with Murata rifles. I see the 11mm version is possible to make from resizing, but see no results for the 8.
    Anybody know of a source for this?

    I have no reloading experience, so would prefer OTS.
    Do you have a source?
    I don't see it available in any searches and wonder if it can be formed from a similar sized brass and loaded by hand.
    Willing to learn if I get the opportunity.

    I don't have a line on production ammo.

    CH Tool and Die will custom make quality die sets for ammo that is no longer produced.

    Give them a call and see if they can help you out.
