You could do an M76 in 30-06. Much better ammo availability. I just finished this one

M75 (if you can find it) Best.
NO Turk (bolt gun only) 1950s Yugo not reccomended (hard primers - bolt gun) Rommy 150gr shot pretty wide groups in mine but safe. Curious how that Greek surp might run. |

For that rifle i would just go commercial ppu 8mm fmj. Or hornady.
Skip the surplus. Romanian surplus is absolute junk. I have a few cases. Minute of barn literally. Skip it. Yugo surplus is ok but corrosive. But it shoots well for me. Turkish is hot as hell. Not safe for autoloaders. No idea on greek. But it seems to get good reviews. Also Cool build op  Edit: i would also get some dies and reload for it. 8mm js is a great caliber with the right loads. |

The PRVI/PPU 8mm 198 grain is the modern equivalent to the Yugo sniper grade ammo. Its relatively inexpensive and lets you use the cases to reload with.
If you are going to use other 8mm you'll want to pick up a set of dies even if you dont reload. Those Yugo mags are awfully tight and some 8mm wont fit. You sometimes need to seat the bullet slightly deeper. |

M75 was never made for the M76! Info sheets on the cases does not mention this application, its for the M48's.
Average at best. The Hornady 8mm match is superb, a close second to the Igman Match, WWII 8mm German and the Romanian 8mm is also pretty good. |

I had a Romanian case split all the way down the side and half the case head in my FN49 8mm.
Guess I would try Czech if you could find it. I have stashed Czech, Romanian, yugo and some other one I can't remember. About out of Turk. My FN49 is a Century parts rifle however. |

The Portuguese 8mm was really nice in my opinion and will pop up now and then. Paying premium for it tho.
The 70's Yugo was better than the 50's. |
