With my K98. Looks like I hit a winner with 196 grain FMJ's and 42 grains of H4895. Seem to hit exactly where I was hitting with the 196 grain Wolf Gold ammo I used to get some cases. Thinking of converting some 30.06 cases to 8mm to get some more.

A good way to start reforming the cases is to get a trim or form die to do the first step use a hack saw to cut off excess then run them through your FL die then do a final trim. I would not hurt to anneal then after.

My first reload on them. What excess?

Although I have been giving some thought to converting some 30.06 to 8mm, and have an RCBS rotary case trimmer ready for that.
