Just a tid bit of info. Remington only runs 8mm brass once every couple of years. Back in the early 90's there wasn't a single piece of brass to be had for nearly two fucking years. That was right when Layne Simpson wrote about the 7mm STW (8mm necked to 7) and all the brass was immediately gone.....for two years. I had to buy loaded 8mm ammo and pull the bullets just to get brass for my 7STW. Loaded ammo eventually ran out as well.

 

So....if you get a gun, get a two year supply of brass and/or ammo or you might just get fucked.

Thanks Tony,

 

Just picked up a good looking one off Gunbroker, thanks for the heads up on the brass I'll load up while I can. I still had ammo from my first 8mm mag I sold back in the late 80's. This is the only gun I've bought because I had the ammo for it.

 

Thanks,

Jack
