The best milsurp 8mm IMO is the FNM '80's production ammo, if you can find it.
The top ammo in your pic looks like Romanian. It's good, but corrosive. Same as the Yugo in the bottom pic.
Don't worry about misfires. Beggars can't be choosers.

OK, thanks.
But what about bulk 8mm milsurp ammo, sold over the internet.
Where I live, gun shows are far away and few.
None that I'm aware of. Budget Shooter Supply had cans of mismatched surplus a while ago but only have boxes of 15 listed now.
What do you classify as "bulk"?
500 or over.
Thank-you. And it comes in wooden crates. But $65 shipping.
Maybe I'll get a few more boxes of PRVI 8mm, from CanadaAmmo, and start reloading for it.
And some more of that Norinco .45 ammo. It's good stuff.
None of the 8mm I have and had was ever really bad. I have 53` and 55` Yugo, never had a problem. I have 70's romainian, good stuff!( stinks though ) I have 49-51 Czech which is great as well. I have a good amount of the FNM, RWS and S&B as well.. and it's all fantastic especially the RWS.

Honesty I wouldn't do it, it kills me to see them priced so high and knowing that I can get 1800 rds in the states for the same price on the same yugo 50's ammo. I would consider reloading if I were you or make a trip down there and pick up some for your self
Milsurp or reloading can easily be decided on you shooting rate, 500 rnds a year means Reload.
the start up cost for the press and dies and the time consumed in the manufacturing are all things to weight in. For myself I only shoot 100 rnds in my m48 a year on average and bought near a thousand surplus rounds through the EE and online merchants. The gun shows in the Ottawa region have been very poor in findings and when it comes to price they sell for just under newly manufactured cartriges.
Fired 49 - 56 Yugo and 74 - 76 czech, never had a misfire on 400 rounds. Quite dirty through.
