Title: Re: 8mm lebel

It's on my 'bucket list'.... interesting historic cartridge! I need to get a set of Lee Dies.

.... another project on the back-burner .... restore Berthier.

(This particular rifle has the updated "N" chamber, but, shoots well with Prvi 8mm Lebel. I've had a couple of Berthier carbines. Their recoil was noticeable).

'Gunboards' has a good French rifle Forum with lots of knowledge. 'Patrick' is awesome. If you dig around on that forum, you will find reloading data. The Prvi ammo seems to work well in all French 8mm Lebel arms.

I need to dab my sights with some Radium Paste for night shooting!
