The original 8mm French Ordnance round is similar in power to the .32 ACP.

I know people who have used .32 ACP loading data very successfully. I'd stick to mid range .32 ACP loads, and use ONLY plated (not jacketed) bullets.

I have heard of some people experimenting with conversions post World War II when some of these revolvers made their way into the US. I've just never seen one. Absolutely fascinating.
