AIM has another sale in the ammo section 8x56r 10rds for 1.95?? I also checked sportsmansguide.com they had it before but are all sold out now. I think i paid $60 for 200rds at SPG last time so this is a good buy.

I'm sure this has the stripper clips that has german eagles stamped on them they are the same ammo/boxes as sportsmansguide had.

Try these links for info, graf and sons has hornady makeing brass for them. Dies are very costly $112.51 from midway catalog probably more than most people paid for the gun.

We will have to think about this if new cases are available?? Or if new ammo is made by maybe norma?? Its around for now in surplus just like 7.65x54 but these two won't be around for much longer in military surplus.

I thought it was available in new cases but couldn't think of the place they make new cases french 7.5 too but it is expensive. $112 for dies?? Buckweet buy plenty of surplus ammo!!!!!! Aim has it cheap!!!! I just picked up a 750rd case of 7.65 Argentine for $80 for a bolt action it should last me a while as long as I don't get a 7.65 semi-auto?? I kring at rollin my own again but soon I'm going to have to.

Lee has dies for 8x56R and 7.5 Mas and they are under $40. They work just fine for reloading. C&H dies are under $75 last time I looked for these 2 calibers also.
