Great video. I had a delivery of Turk 8mm and 1939 Greek from Centerfire yesterday. My experiences are the same as yours. No issues shooting about 40 rounds of the Turkish, including the nastiest most tarnished clip I could find. For the price this is decent stuff to add to the stash.

That 1st jug explosion must have been particularly nasty. It self censored itself.

I received one of the Norway rounds in my Turkish order. The bullet was very loose in the case and had aggressive plier marks on it but seemed to have powder in it. When I pulled the bullet from the case and went to dump out the powder I found the case was instead full of sand. Everyone should inspect these rounds carefully before attempting to fire them. Squib loads are very dangerous.

Great boxes. We, collectors from Russia, can only dream of such

🇦🇺😎👍I love those old military cartridges providing they fire. . Too bad we don’t get snow. Great video brother 💪🤠🇺🇸

Good Video glad to see that it ran well for you.

Not going to lie I have shot a bunch of that Turkish ammo with the cracked neck. Although I have had some good primers with those Turkish rounds. I've probably shot several thousand of them over the years. Also genuinely love your videos really appreciate it thank you

Go with Turkish all the way ❤❤ they knew what they were doing !!

I recently got some Greek from cfs as well. I ordered the 20rd boxes. Most boxes came with a 1940 date stamp, and some with a 1938 date stamp. Oddly enough the 1940 ammo has so headstamp. I tested both. The 1938 with headstamp shot fine at about 2475fps with a sd of 10. The 1940 stuff also shot fine with minor cratering at 2500fps with a great sd of about 6. The 1938 has a green sealant on the primer, the 1940 has a black primer sealant and a different crimp on the bullet. Both boxes are labeled 7,9 ss, pch. The box is of slightly different construction between the two.

I got their 600rd option a week ago. Out of 600 I was missing 5 rds on a stripper clip and when I went through all of it I got around 138 rds that were too loose or cracked necks so I ended up dismantling them for components, around 200 rds that were really tarnished but looked fine to shoot , and the rest looked decent. For the price I’m alright with all of it and planning on getting more

he do be shooting tho

🇦🇺😎👍Happy Friday the 3rd my friend. It’s 8.07 pm

I picked up as much turk 8mm from them as i could Though I reload so no matter what I can use them all as components

Romanian ammo is my favorite

05:12 Headstamp National Origin (12 o'clock) ج [star inset in points-up crescent moon] ط ج = ط ( "CT") stands for _Turkiye Cumhuriyeti_ ("Turkish Republic") [1923-Present]. Post-WW2 the Western letters TC were used. (Modern Turkish script, established 1928 by Ataturk, has a simple Latinate alphabet that was clearer than the various variant Turkic cursive scripts.) Caliber (9 o'clock): *٧.٩* = 7.9 = 7.9mm Mauser Year (3 o'clock): *١٩٢٦* = 1926 = 1926 AD. Turkey officially used the Christian Gregorian calendar rather than one of the various Muslim calendars. Manufacturer (6 o'clock): *ر* = "R" stands for Rødfoss Patronfabrik ("Raufoss cartridge factory"); Raufoss, Norway.

Greatly enjoy your 8mm ammo reviews. Have you tried the Early Turkish Republic 8mm ammo sold by center fire systems? 300 rounds 4x75 rd boxes. 154 gr bullet, manufactured in 1926, brass case, corrosive, no stripper clip, for 125.99 free shipping currently offered 4/17/23.

I also have two bandoleers of Turkish and a few boxes of Greek. What I have found is that the Greek rounds have a very hard time being pushed into the receiver. They have some type of fine , powdery particles on the brass that makes a lot of friction against the feed ramp. Otherwise , my M-48 runs every other ammo just perfectly. Did you have any feeding issues with the Greek, John? I will say that I was also getting nice groups with it also.

GONNA get me some of the sweet Greek 8mm ammo of the Gods... or bettr than the whacked turkish I have. THis is a good test, I didn't think about. coool

Do you know if the 800 rounds of greek surplus is actually 945 like the description says or if they just don't care to change it?

When’s century gonna import the mausers the Greeks were saving all that ammo for???

Will you be chronographing the Greek and Turkish surplus, or is that in a previous video?

Makes me wonder what kind of shape the salvage 7x57 I have coming in is gonna be. But hey 700rds for 100$ can't be beat

Be careful with the turkish ammo. had to replace my stock after about 240 rounds.

All I can say is ,, if you actually want to hunt with 8mm Mauser ammo ,, is use Hornady Vintage match- 8mm Mauser.. it will take down anything in North America, one shot, no problem !!

Were the Greek rounds "hot"? They are supposed to be machine gun ammo but I have no idea if they'll break my stock or not like the Turk.

I bought 300 of tje turkish ammo. I found 1 303 brit ammo

I'm surprised that the Greek ammo is not labeled in Greek!

3800 joules to shoot at a paper target???🤦‍♂️🙏 Aren't there better targets for 8mm???Rail...Washing machine...
