    I'm afraid bulk 8mm is a thing of the past.

    They are still out there.

    Doesn't have to be milsurp but a good deal on any current manufacturer would be great as well.
    Follow through isn't just a shooting fundamental, it's a life skill.

    Has anyone tried pulling surplus 8mm out of Egypt? After the war, they had warehouses full of it, and the Egyptian army horded it and handed out packs of it like bars of gold to their soldiers (for the Hakim rifle) until the Hakim got supplanted.

    AFAIK, they never went through a fraction of the horde ammo, and never surplussed it either.

    I have some Persian 8mm surplus but they are unreliable to say the least. I am aware of Yugo and Romanian surplus that's out there which would be ideal if you can get them in tin cans. Let us know what you please and thank you.
    Definitely interested

    PPU might well be the cheapest we can get right now, apart from any surplus which are hard to find, but we'll look! And we'll put together some case pricing on PPU.

    I'd be in, but it has to be boxer brass and well priced. $2 a round(after shipping and taxes is not cheap in my books)

    Bulk maybe in a way... 1.75/rnd is not for me. Take a good look at what the Europeans offer in 8mm. Affordable and choices... It's far from being dead!
