Default 8 gauge reloading

I'm curiouse as to where one can find wods , hulls and reloading tools for the 8 gauge ?

Also load recipes ?

I seem to remmember seeing a web page on the net a year or so ago of someone in Wyoming or Colorado that made a kit of sorts for loading 8 gauge shells . Think they also made or had brass hulls .

Any info is appreciatted !

Circle Fly Wads. Tell Craig Calvin sent you. PR or BPI may have some tools.

To be honest I was aware of BPI but after past experiences trying to deal with them , I do not try anymore .

craig you dont need any thing fancyto load 8 ga shells...an old lee hand loader in 10 ga is fine except for thecrimping part then i bought a roll crimp from precision reloading..they also have all the compononts to load with at a fair price...they also sale 8 ga hulls but you will have to peel out the hulls as bill murphy discribed or find a resizing tool to do the job...or you can by hulls done rezized from tom armbrust... ive always got my hulls from tom done resized but ive been hunting a resizer with no luck yet...im going rite now and try bills method of peeling the brass off some remington hull destrey hoffard gave me.... charlie
