1950s Yugo 8mm ammo has a reputation for FTFs, and the solution I see a lot of people propose is to replace the Mauser's 19-pound factory spring with a 22-pound spring so it will strike the primer harder. I see some 22- and 26-lb springs online, same price. I assume a 26-lb spring would work even better than the 22-lb. But the downside might be that it is harder to cycle the action. Does anyone have experience with these springs, and whether one is a better choice than the other?
