8mm Mausers.

I've shot a ton of the same exact stuff.

Corrosive, so wash your barrel.

That is 8mm Mauser and looks like Romanian. The K98, HAKIM, M48 all use 8mm Mauser.

Yep, most anything in 8mm Mauser.

Is it brass cased? If so, prolly 50s Yugo, it's not known for its reliability.

The primers are VERY hard. You need a Yugo Mauser or a strong FP spring and then they are reliable. Accurate too. It's good stuff. If you have a lot of it , buy yourself a Yugo M-48 or 24/47. You can thank me later.

It IS indeed yugo 8mm, and if the head stamp has the 2 stars, it is indeed the stuff with hard primers. (The stuff marked NNY seems to be MUCH better).

Primer pockets to deep, took "two shots" to get it to fire out of my 24/47.
