Summary edit

Description
English: I bought some cupro-nickel tipped French surplus 8x51mm Rimmed corrosive and non-reloadable ammo at an ammunition show, thinking it was 7.62x54mm Rimmed. The headstamp (shown in the photo) says that the ammunition is from 1948. One of the bullets has been sawn down slightly, showing its lead core. This was for the Lebel bolt-action rifle, and this ammunition was the first smokeless powder cartridge. Sadly, I do not have any clips for this ammunition. I would like to get one someday and upload a photo of this ammunition in a clip. I took this photo because there are so little photos of this obsolete, lesser-known caliber.
