Early Lebel ammo had no annulus, as the bullets weren't pointed. The annulus was the solution to the safety problem in the tubular magazine. Happy chance that the case design geometry also helped, i think.

Happy chance that the case design geometry also helped . . .

That's certainly more logical than my anachronistic assertion. Thanks!
