[danyboy]

Anybody knows where in Canada I could purchase this 8mm Lebel PRVI Partizan ammunition ?

You looking for 8x50R ammo for the Lebel rifle?

Me too.

I've seen some for sale in the U.S., but no luck in Canada to date. Perhaps someone on here can help out.

canada ammo had some and i think tradex had it too and maybe one of the other big ammo carriers here

PRVI Partizan 8mm Lebel isn't a caliber that's currently being imported into the country.

CanAm, can you get 8x50R lebel rifle ammo or 8mm French Ordanance Revolver ammo?
Or (be still my heart!) both??

CanAM,
You blocked all private messages, pretty hard to send you my email. Could you find out first from PRVI what thei case neck od is ? My 8mm lebel isn't 'N' stamped meaning it couldn't shoot .326" bullet cause not enough neck clearance in the chamber. I wrote PRVI to find out what the bullet diameter was but they never answered. If loaded cartridge neck does not exceed .349" OD, I'll buy them. If more, I can't. My rifle is a balle 'D' rifle.

I asked tradeexcanada but they answered they wouldn't get . Does it mean they are not interested selling it ? No idea.As for cnadaammo, they don't carry it.

Hmmm - I'll have to check next time I''m home.

It's rusted and has a home-made stock on it. Still seems to work well, although no one can remember the last time it was fired. The whole 'out of ammo' thing.

Of all the things Gramps could have stolen during WW2, he brings back a Lebel.

8x50R brass is easy to come by. Lee dies are cheap. 8mm bullets are fairly common.
Powder, primers and load data are all easy to obtain.
