The original Steyr 95 was chambered in 8x50R. Later on, most, but not all, were rechambered for the 8x56R cartridge. Those M95's and variants like the very common 95/34 carbine, have a large S marked on the chamber between the receiver and rear sight. Also, after the German takeover and during WWII some were converted by rebarreling to the German 8x57. So you must first determine the caliber of your rifle.
If you are inquiring about the most commonly found 8x56R, Hornady ammo and bullets for reloading are available from Graf & Sons, and perhaps others. Lee makes reloading dies. The bullets for this caliber are not the usual 8mm caliber, but go .330" diameter.0 -
There was a lot of 70 year old surplus ammo with Nazi markings for sale in caliber 8x56R a few years ago. You should still be able to find a some at gun shows. 0 -
FMJ would be fine all I plan on doing is paper punching. If it proves accurite I may start to reload it. quote:Originally posted by babun
