8 gauge tools are out there. Can’t remember where all of mine came from, but they are out there

8 Guage Loading Tools
 
John Millar made mine. At the time he was working in Canada for a mining company. Made parts for my Mec press and 2 re-sizing dies.
Wish now I had not sold them when the 8 SXS C. Lancaster was sold.
Millar moved back to the UK (merry old England) I believe.
Tom Armbrust gave me his contact information. Tom has or had a really nice WW Greener 8 SXS.
There are photos of his Greener and several other 8s in his book Loading 8 bore and 4 bore shotguns.

Tom has a friend Ken Burns that’s refit a bunch of 600JR’s for loading 8 gauge . He’s also made or had made a bunch of swagging setups for 8 gauge industrial hulls . That who I got my stuff from .

Yup, I got my press from Ken too. Got my swaging dies from C&H.

I wish Ken had refit some Sizemasters for 8 gauge but I’m sure that would be a bit more of a PITA making an 8 gauge resizing collet .

That would be the cat’s dupa!!

I use this for muzzleloaders it comes in 44 and 36 inches: https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categ...RAMROD-C-44-10

Not a brush but this would work well with patches in an 8 gauge:
