    This cartridge is unique to this pistol. Called 8mmgasser. It is a black powder rnd.. Reloading dies are available www.ch4d.com Brass is similar to 32S&W but not sure if interchangeable. Quality Cartridge lists it but are currently out. Try www.owlnet.com Try Rast&Gasser on your search engine and some other sites should come up on history of this pistol.

    Fiocchi still produces this cartridge. Old western scrounger and ammo depot should carry it but be ready to pay a stiff price.
