riflegunbuilder8x56 MS?
I'm looking at a 8x56 MS. Rifle doesn't have any dies with it. Any other options for dies besides CH/4D. They look like the only ones listing them.

Indeed they do. Have purchased a couple three sets of CH4Ds from them when CH did not have them on the shelf. That's why I posted the link.
Qual-Cart shows brass in stock.

bpesteveThe two or three 8x56 Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifles I have had would chamber and feed Winchester 8x57 brass that had been shortened and formed to fit using regular RCBS 8x57 dies. Your mileage may vary, and it only worked with Winchester brand brass, which is apparently slightly smaller diameter at the head than other brands. I did also get some Qual-Cart 8x56 M-S brass and that worked fine too using 8x57 Mauser dies.
