    I wish. Been trying to find some to feed the K98 as well, to no avail. Every now and then theres some on the EE but usually turkish. From what I hear its loaded pretty damn hot.

    I hate paying $1.50 ish a shot. Ugh

    CanAm should get the Chinese to start pumping out these rounds, there's a lot of demand in the ME and Africa for 98's that are still seeing service, and MG42's. Plus all the rifles in Canada
    Lois can't stop me from experiencing the manic highs and lows my body demands.

    Is the 53 Turk stuff as hot as the WW2 Turk ammo?

    Agreed, always been a bit leery of Chinese ammo but if its even .50 c/round i'd try it out. Any reason we dont get the Romanian 8mm in Canada? The US seems to have it here and there

    time to start reloading.

    accuracy is better, you can make nice soft shooting loads, and you can usually find brass.

    I don't put corrosive thru my Mauser so its too expensive to buy it from the store.
