8mm Lebel Revolver loading

[walnutred]

I am preparing to work up some 8mm Lebel Revolver loads. As I don't want to reinvent the wheel is anyone currently loading this round who wished to offer advise.

Thanks, I found some load data and even some correct projectiles. The catch I'm having is trying to adapt some loading dies. I can cut down 32-20 brass but I'm guessing I need a .330 expanding plug? Right now I'm thinking: Trim brass and size in 32-20 sizing die. Expand using a generic tapered expanding die. Add powder and bullet then seat and crimp with a tapered 30 Carbine TC die.

Short of buying 8mm Lebel revolver dies is there a better way of loading this ammo>

Hornady makes the dies. Midway sells them, or at least they used to.
