8 Bore Ammo
 

Douglas McDougall's 8 Bore guns and their cartridges and More 8 bore loads book is for sale at Gunnerman books
I had a copy but sold it a couple of years ago. I found another copy last year at a gun show and bought it. There is a lot of advise and loading information for those interested.

If it was there it's been sold

What in Gods name would someone want with a book on of all things 8 gauge stuff :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: And before you ask I didn’t buy it :nono:

I received their mailing mid week
The price was high $ 175.00 but these are not easy to locate.

Looking for 8 gauge hulls or even better some ammo, thanks and regards.

Last Summer we ordered 3000 hulls. They were sold before I had them. Maybe BP or Precision will have some soon?

Remington Industrial hulls will no longer be manufactured so Winchester will be the source. When available they sell them in case lots of 1500 hulls.

I bought some new unprimed REM hulls off a guy on GB 2 or 3 years ago and seems to me I gave him $3 a piece for them . I wanted some new unfired REM’s for buck , ball and slug loads . And at that price I only bought 100 .

Thanks very much Gentlemen!

There’s a poster here, Joe Plante, from Alberta who apparently has access to Remington kiln-buster ammo. He cuts off the crimp and salvages the shot and primer. He sells the hulls very reasonably. I just took delivery of 300. They are 2 3/4” long after I even up the hull mouth. The new 8 gauge recipes from the Parker Pages have proved invaluable. 26.5 grs Clay Dot under 1.5 ounces shot and a 1044 wad fit nicely with a 6- crimp. The recipe calls for a 1/2” fiber wad in the plastic wad cup; removing the fiber wad makes this work. They are crimped on my PW375 using my 8 gauge tooling but you could also roll crimp them.
