My local gun shop had these RCBS dies on their shelf for years, someone had ordered them but never came back. I bought them at a reduced price. Always easy to sell the reformed 7,92x33 at gun shows. You can use Lake City 7,62x51mm blanks or just 7,62 NATO. More original to use commercial 8 mm Mauser brass. Very easy cartridge to make.

Last years on another forum, someone built-up an AR-15 in 7,92 Kurz, special order barrel and chamber reamers plus headspace gages, used a 308 cal bolt head. While it appeared to be very accurate he never could get a correct magazine to work with more than five or six rounds !Attachment 98574

Not quite. I simply lubed as per FLR and sized. It left the long neck, and then I went to the trim die in the press. I cut extra off and reamed while it was supported by the trim die. Filed the case mouth clean and hand chamfered. Then loaded them. 600 times...

I have a handful of this caliber reformed from USGI 30-06 and about an equal amount of original ammo.
Doesn’t look like it’s worth a hole lot and I’m cleaning out right now.
How about one of you guys that’s shooting this send me a PM for it. Pay for shipping and it’s yours.

Many years ago, when perusing the collection of a German acquaintance I noticed a scruffy looking Kar98 in the corner of his gun cabinet which intrigued me. It was a Volksgewehr chambered in 8x33mm. In books I've looked at, I only ever seem to be able to find reference to semi-auto Volksgewhre in that calibre; all the bolt action ones are in 8x57.
Anybody else ever seen a Kar98 in 8x33?
