Another closet 8MM Lebel Berthier shooter speaks out.

For a long time I have scrounged the odd (old) partial box of Remington UMC ammo at gun shows. Pulled them apart for the brass and 170 Gr 8MM factory bullets. Tried the 198 Gr BTHP bullets for the Military load. Yikes! way to stiff for my liking especially in the carbine.

Working on cast bullet load with an old Lyman mold I have. This is two 5 shoot groups with the Berthier Carbine.
