I find that Fio hulls crimp well and reload easily, especially for 2 1/2” loads. My chief concern is the tendency for the base wad to unseat after a couple reloads, which is very undesirable in any s ... |

Euro rifle caliber markings can be ambiguous. Took the 16x8mm to a gunsmith who did a chamber casting to positively identify 8x57JRS caliber,which is one of the modern (i.e., hotter) chamberings. Ba ... |
