Description
Do you have a classic rifle like the Gewehr 98, vz. 24, or Yugo M24/47 which you’d like to treat to some authentic and hard-working ammo, but without breaking the bank? Well, the former nation of Yugoslavia has got you covered. Since the country’s disintegration in 1992, much of the Yugoslav National Army’s surplus ammo has become available for shooting enthusiasts to purchase overseas. Bear in mind, though, that the nonexistent place isn’t going to be making more ammo anytime soon — your chances to invest in this military surplus are finite!
rThis 8mm Mauser (aka 7.92×57mm Mauser) cartridge features a 198 grain projectile. The bullet’s full metal jacket toughens it for reliable feeding and target penetration, and staves off bore fouling as well. This round’s uniform brass casing adds to its ability to feed smoothly. This cartridge’s Berdan primer would make reloading it a tricky task, however, and its corrosiveness means you would do better to fire it sooner rather than later!
