I just went to the range with my recently acquired K98 from AIM. I had 2 bandoliers of the Turk 8mm I bought at SOG. At the range I noticed 2/3 of this ammo had split necks BEFORE firing. I didn't fire the split ones and decided to only fire 6 of the rounds that seemed intact. Of these, most were split after firing.
Are the split ones dangerous to fire? Shouldn't the K98 be able to handle the pressures from even the split necked ammo? Could the weapon "blow up"?
Sorry if these are ignorant questions. I'm new to C&R rifles and surplus ammo.
