Just thinking out loud, what would be wrong with turning the belt off of 300 WM brass and forming 8X68's brass from it?

Any other suggestions for obtaining some brass on this side of the pond for that round? I looked on old western scroungers webbsite and didnt see any..

You can buy RWS 8x68 brass from Nachez Shooting Supply. Also, I've seen where Midway sells a (RCBS?) die for forming 8x68s from a 300 Win Mag. The case head on the Win Mag is larger than the 8x68 and then theres the matter of that belt, but I guess if they sell a die for it, enough people do it.

I'd just buy a bunch of brass from Natchez and be done with it personally. Do order a bunch of stuff at once from them though; shipping is rather expensive on Internet orders.

Martini and Hagn (gunmakers) usually have supplies for that round (I got a bunch of stuff from them) as well. They're located in BC. - dan

How about Huntington's? Yep! RWS, stock #5030
8X68S (per 20) = $27.35
