Beautiful 8 gauge did you see the other 8 gauge Parker hammer gun that sold recently ? https://www.merzantiques.com/product...-7-size-frame/

From what Ive read its pretty common to have to fully resize your more common shotgun hulls also before reloading so really doesnt make the 8 gauge too different .

I plan on loading some larger shot sizes, I really want to try it on coyotes on bobcats .

The initial sizing of a new 8 gauge is a different bird from resizing 8’s that had the initial sizing or any other shot shell hull for that matter . However a fellow wants to load them is up to him . But the reworked MEC press and initial sizing setup that could be bought from Ken Burns and Armbrust have to be the easiest . Only problem I see is coming up with wad guide fingers that hold up for more then 200 or so loads .
