8mm Lebel Revolver loads (8mm Ordnance)

[ScubaSteve99]

Hey y'all, I recently got reloading dies 8mm ordnance for my 1892 Lebel Revolver. I have a bunch of Red Dot that I'm wanting to use for my powder, but I can't find a load for red dot anywhere. I'm using Graf's .330 100gr jacketed bullets and Fiochi brass. I have slugged the bore and got .329. This past weekend I went to the range to try my first loads which were 2.5 grs of red dot based off some 32 s&w long loads. I had one go bang with no accuracy and then a squib, which ended my shooting of my 1892 for the day as I didn't have anything to clear it. Does anyone know a solid load in the 750-850 fps range with red dot? Thanks!

I love shooting the Fiocchi rounds out of my Lebel.

Here is the only load data I have ever found for the cartridge.



I know it isn't Red Dot but it's all I have.

Might try emailing Alliant and see if they have any data.
Worst case is they say no and your out the couple minutes of time you spent sending the email.
Best case is you get an answer
