Some time back, when Starline .56-.50 brass was unavailable, I bought a fifty count bag of 8mm Lebel to convert. I did ONE as an experiment and decided it was a bit more work than I wanted to do. I tossed the bag with the remaining 49 pieces on a shelf and forgot about it. Well, I came across it a couple days ago and thought, "OK, I better either do it or give this stuff away."
It's taken me most of yesterday and today to cut 'em down, expand the neck, thin the rim, neck ream, trim, and load, but I've expanded my inventory of brass from 274 pieces to 323 pieces. :) I also have blisters on both thumbs and both index fingers. :-X

Still have to fire form and trim again too. :P

I find it easyer to use magtech 32 shotshells

Now that they're available again, I think I'd find it easier to buy the proper Starline cases from Track of the Wolf.  ;)

I've tried .348 Winchester cases and they work great, but I have yet to try the 32ga shotshells.
