 Such weapons are stamped "N" on top of the barrel, just in front of the receiver and behind the rear sight.The "balle N" ammunition is identifiable by the fact that the bullet, while pointed like the solid-brass "balle D", is lead-cored and jacketed with soft steel.While newly manufactured 8×50mmR Lebel ammunition has become available in the U.S., reloadable cartridge cases can also be produced by reforming .348 Winchester brass.
