Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Yes I know this should be in the ammo section but if I put it here most of you Mauser folks will see it. One of the guys I used to work with dropped off a boat load of 8mm and 7.62x54r ammo.

There is Czech, Yugo 1950's and Romanian lacquered case. There is about 1000 rounds of 8mm.

I guess the only ammo of concern here is the Yugo due to age and the Romanian looks really nice. Has any of this ammo been foung by you folks to be better then the other?

Thanks

The Romy stuff is nice. A consistent, mild load with a flyer every now & then. The 50's Yugo on the other hand has a rap for case splits. The 70's production not having same problem
