Do I want Yugo or Romanian? Not really interested in Turkish; I've read too many bad experiences. I know the Romanian stuff is steel cased, is it laquered? Anyone have problems with the laquer in your rifle's chamber?

[Dorrin79]

I've got a bunch of the 196gr romanian (comes in a 380rd sealed tin, right?)

It works fine; fairly accurate, not as hot as some new production S&B I have.

Keep in mind it is corrosive though :uhoh:

Most Yugo ive seen is from the early 1950's while the Romanian is from the early 1970's.I have shot both equally well but prefer to get newer when possible.

[MuzzleBlast]

No problems with the laquered cases, then?

If you are near LR I will be so kind as to give you a few rounds of Turk so you can see what you think. I have had no problem at all with mine.

[Tropical Z]

I cant imagine any problems with the Yugo or Romanian after you get the case opened!:D I just got some Turk in but have yet to shoot any-looks OK so far.Ive always heard that the Turk stuff is the most powerful of the three.

[bogie]

So, should I just take the 210 rounds of turk that I picked up a few weeks ago, and stuff it down in the bat cave in my SHTF collection?

You might try Century Arms. They have/had Greek 8mm in last week. It comes in 15 rd boxes and is marked 1939. I opened a couple randomly and it looks like a 198gr bullet; long taper with a boat-tail. Supposedly has a mild steel core, I didn't check that out. ~$44/750rds + ~$12.00 shipping. Going to use it in my Yugo 48.

[BamBam-31]

Just ordered some Yugo 8mm for my Persian. Supposedly no steel in bullet, so it's okay for CA ranges where steel in bullets pose a fire hazard.

[Kevlarman]

Yeah, I don't like that rule. I have 1000 rounds of Turk 8mm sitting in my closet because I can't use it at any of the public outdoor ranges around here.

Thing is, I don't think it has a steel core, but merely a steel jacket. They use the magnet test, it sticks, and they assume the worst. Poo.

Is cupro-nickel magnetic? I wouldn't be surprised if that was the jacket material insteaf of steel.

Id think that for SHTF 8mm youd want at least a sealed can of the early 70's Romanian stuff or better yet a full case kept nice and dry.Also toss in a few thousand rounds of 22lr.;)
