I load ammo for a buddy's 8mm Lebel. Now there's one you don't hear about very often. I believe it was the first military round loaded with smokeless powder, and possibly the first smokeless round of all time.

Back in the early nineties I was up in the James Bay frontier and was doing some meat hunting with a band where I was working. I was given an 8mm Lebel to use and it is a unique piece of workmanship. I went three for three one shot kills the first evening. The next day six for six, so I am pretty impressed with it as an up close round. That was with fmj ball so shot placement was essential and the lebel did its job.
