I'll bring this up here as well. I was probably the only person that didn't know this. Regular 8x57 dies can be used to reload the 8x57 I (J) .318 bore cartridge. I bought a set of regular dies as opposed to custom .318 dies. Size as usual just either remove the expander ball or if it isn't removable, polish/grind it down. It is unnecessary. I replaced mine with a universal de-capping pin. No expander ball. Then add primer, powder and proceed to seat the bullet. Works like a dream.

And 32 Winchester Special bullets are close enough in most cases. May want to reduce the powder charge some.
