Ammunition source for the 8mm Lebel Revolver
Gads Custom Cartridges will make custom reloads from 32-20 cartridges,,,
I've ordered a few hundred for my Lebel over the years.
They are low power but do go bang,,,
So anyone who has one of these French Gals can get some range time.
Recently I stumbled on the once-every-few-years-run that Fiocchi makes,,,
I was able to score 550 rounds of the new ammunition before it was sold out.
I spoke to the gentleman at Gads,,,
He said he would reload my empty brass for $50.00 per hundred rounds.
That includes shipping the ammo back to me.
If you reload (which I don't),,,
Here is a pic of some reloading data you might find useful.

Anyways, I hope someone can get some use from this,,,
I love being able to send a few rounds downrange from my French lady.
