- Romanian 8mm Mauser was imported heavily into the US in 2013-2020. I didn’t get my hands on it at the time, but let’s talk about it now.

00:00 Intro
I bought a lot of this ammo back when it was imported because it was cheap. I haven't had keyholing issues in any of my guns with it but then again i shoot steel and don't put it on paper. Its perfectly accurate for plinking out to 100-200 yards. Seems to me about 1 out of every 50 rounds or so wont chamber, but the interesting thing is they don't chamber in any of my YUGOs, but those rounds chamber and fire just fine in my German and Turkish guns. My biggest complaint about it is that it is incredibly dirty ammo to shoot. I would say worse than any surplus I've shot. 50-100 rounds of it and you're spending hours scrubbing the bore to get the filth out. Like you said, treat this ammo like its corrosive.
Had a yugo m48 thay loved that stuff
👍🏽👍🏽
Very impressed with that powder not bad for military ammo that powder in them must be close and consistent to .3 grain
Could you put the calipers on the thickly lacquered cases and then measure un lacquered cases and see if it’s really enough bigger to not allow the 5th round in?
I got 200 of these, couldn't chamber a single round. Ended up pulling the bullets and running the primed cases through a full length sizing die and reseating the bullets. Comparing the round next to an in spec round shows that the shoulder is much farther forward than it's supposed to be
Did you just remove the depriming stem?
Surprisingly these were mostly indistinguishable from normal rounds.
@@8mmmauserman I can tell the difference with mine. The problematic cases/rounds will stick out of the case/oal gauges. Some rounds even have a shoulder that is higher on one side than the other. Mine came in the green box.
If you have a nice K98k or value your eye sight that bargain ammo isn't always a good value.
I trust this action to handle sloppy ammo.
Could you measure the diameter of the case with some calipers (when you have them) and compare with other milsurp 8mm?
I'll see what I can do.
As a general rule, guns & ammo out of Romania are of low quality. They make everything as cheaply as possible with zero quality control. But I do miss their 7.62X39 ammo. It wasn't too bad.
Romanian ammo really fell off around the 2010s, their new production 7.62x39 has had lots off issues as well.
Seems pretty low quality to me, especially compared to some other modern ammo like S & B.
Very low quality, but was also dirt cheap.
