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.

I have a load for the 8x50R Siamese, but need to make brass. I have been working at this with AZ Fans help. I purchased some 8x50R steyr rounds from Nams auction, but they will not chamber. I read on the net that one could run the brass through an 8mm Lebel sizing die. Az Fan did this for me and the brass will chamber now.
Here is a quote from his email:Did you try a 7.62x54R casing? I still think it might be best to fireform in your chamber,then size in the Lebel die.The Lebel has a (kind of) double shoulder & I'm concerned about fit.Shooting a full power load in a 7.62 casing run through a Lebel die without the shoulder
moved out might lead to failure through the neck/shoulder area.I'll try & send some pics tomorrow that might show what I mean better.Lee makes the 8mm Lebel dies BTW

To answer him 7.62 brass is way too long in the shoulder to chamber.
