8x56r reloading info

[fromtheplaines]

Does anyone know of a reloading book that list reloading data for this round? I am seeing a lot of info on the web, but since this will be my crack at reloading I wanted to have data from a well known source. Thanks

Hmm... Both Lee and Lyman return nothing.

Ammoguide.com has 15 loads listed for 8x56mmR Hungarian. Bullet wt. ranging from 185-220 gr. You'll have to register to view data. Other than that, I have nothing.

Here's a link to a discussion that contains some published Lee data for the 8x56R. I believe Graf & Sons have components for this round.

Also I noticed when I was de priming the brass it was really in there. Is it normal to need to use some strength?

Depends on the brass. I'm not familiar with 8x56, but is it possible the primers are crimped in?

Nazi marked brass is berdan primed.

I have quite a few pcs on stripper clips if you're interested. They're convertable to Boxer and I even went so far as to convert a few of them just to prove a point.
