Got a batch of 1941 Bulgarian 8x56R for my Steyr m95 Stutzen, and the cases look sturdy enough for reloading. Primers are very small (half centimeter or about 3/16 measured from the outside, they're Berdan, and there are only two small holes from primer into propellant chamber. Headstamp is divided into quadrants, Bulgarian lion at 12 o'clock, "19" at 9 o'clock, "41" at three, and letters "B Phi" which is cyrillic for military factory.
Anyone have any experience reloading these, and are the primers available anywhere? Who makes die sets in this old/obsolete size?
Thanks in advance for any help.
