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

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:
