I know it’s not a single-shot caliber, but thought I’d ask anyway.  Looking for dies and brass for the 8x56 Mannlicher-Schoenauer.  That’s the rimless one, not the rimmed one.  Please PM me if you have any for sale.  Thanks.

I have one and use new un-fired brass (preferably Winchester 8x57 Mauser brass) to make my 8x56 MS brass. I trim to length, 56 mm and fire form. The unsized Winchester brass will chamber in my rifle without any difficulty.  After fire forming I just neck size the brass and use the 8mm Mauser die set for both neck sizing and bullet seating.  The two cartridges are very similar though the 8x56MS has a little smaller rim.  This works in my rifle, hopefully it will in yours. BTW, keep an eye on the case length, mine does stretch a little.
