Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

You might try running an expander rod (with good lube) of appropriate diameter down into the 38 case to expand to size first, then neck /size down in std. sizing die.

Would eliminate case splits

You might want to check out the 9 x 21 and the 9 x 23 winchester cases as they are only about .15 smaller than the 8 Nambu.
