So I inherited an 8mm turkish mauser, and along with it came a tin of ammunition. I decided to take it out and see what it could do. Well every round that I loaded and tried to fire just went click and would not fire. I am sure it is very old and just must be no good any more. My question is what can I do with it? Can I disassemble the rounds, re-load it with a modern safe load and shoot them? Are these most likely berdan primed? Are these cases even brass? They are the dark green color. Let me know. Thanks.
The tin has these markings:
7,92 PS-GS
V408-71-22
MD 71
VT 302/70 U
Each piece of brass has the numbers 71 and 22 stamped on the bottom. I have no idea what all this means.
