Does anyone have a source for nonpremium 8mm (.323) bullets between 170-200 gr.? I checked all of the sporting goods stores within a half hour drive and most do not stock that caliber, and one place had the tiny 150 grainers- which I ended up buying.
All of the sources I've checked on the 'net seem to stock only expensive premium bullets, which I don't really need.

I have a few surplus 8mm's in my collection that show some exceelnt potential with surplus ammo and want to develop loads to take advantage of the potential and to use for hunting.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can look at bullets they handle by manufacturer. I saw quite a few there at their on-line store. What cartridge do you plan to stick those 8mm bullets in??

Thanks for the tip. I noticed that they even had cast lead bullets which I would like to try before I buy a full blown casting setup.
I'm going to be reloading for 8x57.

Try Midway USA, they have just about anything you will ever need for reloading. The link wont paste but here's the url anyway.

The sources listed above, either Huntington's or Midway, should have what you need. Both the Sierra 175 grain, or the Speer 200 grain, are excellent bullets. So is the Winchester 170 grain, or the Remington 185 grain pointed softpoint corlockt.

I found a shop this last week that has a good variety of 8mm. Ended up buying hornady 170's and speer 200's to try out, along with the hornady 150's I already have. Now I'm just waiting for a rainy day or two to find the motivation to roll some ammo.

Check out MidwayUsa.com. I bought 185gr Remington Core Locs in bulk. They shoot good too.

A note on shooting cast bullets in the military barrels. A lot of the bores in the old militarys are pitted from years of shooting corrosive ammo and this can cause excessive leading, sometimes with just a few rounds.Be sure and check it out carefully.
