The issue was that I bought two boxes of 8x58.5 from Reed. The ammo would not seat in my double rifle so I measured the brass. Everything was fine except the length was about 62mm.

I contacted Reed who was apologized but said he did not think it was the problem and offered that the rifle may have a chamber issue. He agreed to take the ammo back and remake it with brass trimmed to 58.5 mm. Reed did not offer to pay for shipping the ammo back to him so I shipped it at my cost.

A couple months later, I had not heard back from Reed so told him that h=if he could not complete the order, to refund my money and I would start reloading for this round.

He became very huffy and told me he was refunding my purchase cost (minus his shipping cost and minus a 20% restocking fee. So I was out two shipping costs and 20% for his restocking.

Now, the good part is that I ordered brass & bullets from Buffalo and dies from CH4D and started reloading. The gun shoots well. Buffalo's brass measured 58.5mm.

Everybody makes mistakes from time to time but I will not do business with or recommend a compaany that can not correct their own mistakes.
