I have an M 1886 8mm lebel that I shoot regularly. I bought a lot of the mil surplus ammo that were mostly duds. I reload them into my new brass and they shoot just fine.
My Berthier was scheduled to arrive Monday but it appears delayed with no tracking updates since that day. I've opened a case with USPS for it. Hopefully it just got caught up somewhere. Very hard just sitting here waiting for it.

Hope all goes well with the shipping. Fingers crossed its just some silly shipping delay.
USPS said he used retail ground which is their slowest lowest priority option. She said it's still probably okay. Fingers crossed he packed well, any extra transit time is never good for an old warhorse.
