[QUOTE="WessonOil, post: 2295330, member: 25792"] I've a bit of everything as far as 8mm mauser...some of which I just run through my Hakim and FN-49, others which I trust only in a bolt action. As far as surplus 8mm, the 1947 Turk ammo had annealing problems, and about 10% of what I was receiving had split necks. I discarded the split cases, and shot the rest. Too hot to shoot in semi-autos, so I shoot only in my long barrelled mausers, as it's quite accurate. Century Arms would take my word for it as to how many I was discarding, and credit it to my account. 1950's Yugo (only 1950's) had some issues with primers being seated too deeply depending on what plant produced it. Firing pin could not strike the primer adequately, so many of us spend $9.00 on heavier Wolff springs, and corrected the problem. Some 50's had a tendency to split when being fired, so this is reserved for my bolt action. I paid six cents a round, shipped, for the 1950's Yugo, so I can live with having to buy a $9.00 spring. :) Late 1930's Greek, 1940 Yugoslavian, 1970's Yugoslavian, Romanian, I shoot in my semi-autos 8mm. Years other than 1947 are not an issue with split necks in Turk. [/QUOTE]
