Apr 10, 2007 · Loads for 8mm Lebel? OK, I've got all my stuff together ready to load 8mm Lebel. I'd like to use the following powders behind a 198gr Yugo 8mm FMJ. Any recommendations? Also, what are your thoughts on crimping? Will my 8mm Mauser crimp die work? TIA, MarkK IMR4895 WC820 WC860

Jun 22, 2021 · I’ve cast and sized the 8mmKAR BULLET TO .3275.” It weighs 234grains from COWW plus 2% Sn. Bullets are powder coated and gas checked. I’ve determined seating depth in my chamber so bullet nose is just engaging lands. Gas check is hanging down into the case. I’ve settled on a starting load of 39 grains IMR 4895. CCI 200 LRPs. I just need someone to tell me …

Feb 5, 2009 · I just got a 8mm Lebel, St-EtienneMle1892/1914 sporterized rifle. It doesn't have the 'N' mark on the receiver so I suppose it was meant for the Balle D. It slugs to .315 bore diameter and .326 groove diameter. I really don't know what size bullet I should use because there seems to be so many versions of this rifle from what I read on the web. Should I do a …

May 5, 2015 · The Lebel brass has a larger rim and fits my RB better than the .348. It's an easy conversion, I just trim the Lebel brass to length, run it through a a FL sizing die without the expander and fire-form the case.

Aug 31, 2018 · I made 8mm Lebel revolver cases out of 32-20 cases. I used an Accurate mold and a Lee bullet sizer (.326" - the bore is .323"). 2.8 grs Bullseye. The gun is very accurate, not much recoil, average = 400 fps. But, the fired cases are ballooned out, and some split. Loaded rounds fit sloppily in the chamber. I think the brass is undersized. Dummy round on left, fired …

Jan 30, 2021 · I have two rifles in 8x50r a 1916 berthier long rifle and a lebel. Currently I’m shouting surplus’s ammo from 1948 I managed to stumble across. However I now have components to reload and am looking for load data for it. The projectile is a 200gr fmj .327 bullet and I am hoping to use Vn140 powder as I currently use that for my other full bore rifles Any …

Sep 6, 2015 · I've tried using 348 brass, but for me the rim on the Graf 8mm Lebel brass works better. 1) I cut the neck off about 1/8" before the start of the shoulder. 2) Run the brass through the sizer die. I use the Lee dies. 3) Fire form with Red Dot and cream or wheat. You can anneal or not. I don't. Sometimes they do split either way. 4) Trim to length. I make mines as long as will …

Jul 10, 2011 · Went to a small gunshow this weekend. Saw a Rolling Block Military Rifle in 8mm Lebel. Price tag was almost $1200. I saw nothing exceptional about the rifle except that it appeared to be in original condition with maybe 50% of the original finish. It did still have the cleaning rod under the barrel. I was under the impression that Remington built well over …

Jun 8, 2017 · truth be told, the most promising of them all was the 8mm Lebel case to 43 Beaumont, it fireformed nearly perfect on the first shot, just being a bit short on case length- and it didn't have to be sleeved like the 45-70, eliminating the need to buy brass tubing, cut it to size, and put it over the case. the downside was, the Lebel case was milsurp and Berdan primed, …
