If you pick up some surplus ammo be aware (as Ammoman stated) that it is most likely corrosive. You will need to thoroughly clean your rifle when you are done shooting. If you need tips on that just yell and we can give you some.
Let us know what you think of it. You can post some pics over here if you want: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/long-guns/33819-long-gun-show-tell.html We love seeing rifles!!
You can introduce yourself here if you want: Introductions and Greetings It's not a requirement though.
Welcome to the forum!
When you get tired of scrubbing your rifle from muzzle to butt plate after every trip to the range, and decide to load your own 8x57 ammo, DO let us know!
I will let you know, the more I shoot the more im thinking about getting into reloading, I am definitely going to save my brass
What he said.
Be sure that whatever ammo you save brass from is modern brass case Boxer primed, not corrosive Berdan primed.
I highly recommend getting into reloading, and there are lots of us (myself included) who have done it for a long time and even enjoy it nearly as much as shooting itself; so we'll be glad to give you suggestions on what you'll need for your initial setup and how to use it should you take the plunge.
Even if you don't go that direction, you can almost certainly sell the once fired brass for a modest discount over unfired brass to some of the folks on here.
My son bought me 24/47 8mm Mauser for my birthday a couple months ago. Immediately bought dies, powders and 198 grain Hornady Bullets. I already load for more than 10 calibers so what is one more. Savings over factory ammo is good but customiziing a load to that rifle was a great project. You can find virgin 8mm brass, just have to search. 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards is not too bad even with my old eyes.I will let you know, the more I shoot the more im thinking about getting into reloading, I am definitely going to save my brass
