Hello AkMike1,

That's very interesting. But I agree, that will have to come "after" I find my Fraser's regulated load with the 300g bullets.

As a side note about the 8mm Lebel. I knew very little about the 8mm Lebel cartridge until I acquired this little double Lefaucheux. I have come to find that this is one of the strangest cartridges I have ever seen.

Over the years I have loaded for over 60 different calibers and developed several that didn't exist, but this is the first, and perhaps the "only", cartridge that has a double taper body. Not to mention the radius of both the shoulder and neck junctures, something that Roy Weatherby took credit for some 55 years later.

I can't wait to start experimenting with it!
