Re: 8x51 ??? No, really a 8x54mm Krag
30/12/12 02:31 PM

Wonder among wonders the Bolt arrived today. 1 month a 2 days after purchase. They sent it to Buffalo, NEW YORK, instead of Buffalo, Wyoming.

Anyway, I cobbled up 3 cases from new RP 6.5x55 cases, 14grs Unique, 170gr RN, They went Bang and the cases fell out fairly nice and far less wringled then they went in the chamber. After some cleaning and measuring, the Chamber is indeed cut for a 8x54mm Krag.

I am thinking it will get around the mid-40's of ReLoder15 with a 200gr Speer.

I have a 6.5x55 LEE die and a taperd 8mm expander ball/rod coming. The die neck will get reamed to .345" and the 8mm expander installed.........should make usable cases in one pass.....:):):)

Hey Daryl, you mentioned annealing dies, any insight you can give on your procedure would be welcome. Also thanks for the pictures of your dies in the 9x57 thread.......
