For the 8mm Lebel, is it possible to use spitzers in the tube mag safely?

You can also reload Berdan primers (if thats what it uses). You make a simple hydraulic reliever, buy an extra case trimmer/decapper, and grind off the decapping end and you can find Berdan primers at roughly the same cost as Boxers.
