8x50R Lebel Ammo Prices

The 1886 French cartridge that changed the whole world by being the first smokeless military round and instantly making every black powder rifle on earth obsolete overnight. It fed the Lebel rifle through the horrors of the First World War and its rimmed tapered case looks every bit as archaic as its age suggests. A genuinely historic ancestor of the modern era.

The load runs a 170 to 200 grain bullet in the very rare offerings that exist. Genuinely scarce and priced for its rarity and its history. The antique French rifle collectors buy whenever anything surfaces at all.
