Where are you buying your Privi? I am a big fan of the match cartridge that they make. Also, where do you get your S&B?

I picked up a couple boxes at my local Cabela's, they carry the S&B as well, but I haven't tried it. The S&B is supposed to be good stuff, loaded to original military specs, 196gr @ 2591 fps.
My 8mm Mausers are both WW2 K98s, and I primarily shoot surplus through them, or handloads. Neither of my K98ks like the Privi stuff, so if I buy more it will be to get the brass.
The best price I remember seeing on Privi is from SGAmmo, in Oklahoma, but they are out of stock at the moment. They do have the Hornady Vintage Match in stock though. One state over for you, shipping shouldn't be all that bad.

I was serious about buying your brass, by the way. Good cheap surplus 8mm ammo has pretty much dried up, and I can always use them.
