Turkish 8mm pull down options

[KneverKnew]

I would have to echo the others here and say replace the powder using modern powders. Thats a lot of work (and primer expense) to not have good shooting and reliable ammo. But I do have one question, why are you taking them down in the first place? If the power id good enough to re-use that why go to all the trouble of breaking them down and reloading them?

What I’ve heard is lots of hang fires or FTF. Also want to reduce hot loads to more tolerable levels for my shoulder as well as my guns.

Ah.. okay I understand why you want to go to the trouble. It's interesting, though, to hear others have a lot of misfires. I've not really had issues with Turkish ammo, I've maybe had a couple of duds, but no hangfires that I can recall. I do prefer the Greek stuff though
