Bad ammo

[kjohn]

Took a nice Husqvarna sporter in 8x57 out yesterday. I brought Yugo surplus 1950 and 1953 ammo. Ended up with majority light strikes/hard primers.

Not wanting to fiddle too much with duds, I pulled all the bullets and dumped the powder into my Yugo powder stash. I'm going to take the dud brass out and try them in my old faithful beater M48. I'll take the Husky out and try some better primers.

You hop/skipp’d’n jumped awn me kj.

Why not change the striker spring instead?

That Yugo stuff is notorious for having rock hard primers
If you reload you can pull the components and reload using new brass/ primer
You will also have non corrosive rounds as a bonus

I have the same ammo and with my M48 same problem, need to shoot two times to fired this ammo. I did research on google and all peoples with this ammo changed firing pin spring for a 22 lbs. With mauser 98 or m27/47 or M48. The spring are not the same length for m98 or m48 however. I make a WTB on gunnutz for the spring but nothing . Wolff gunsprings made it but he don't ship to Canada. Available on ebay but always no shipping to Canada. Search over store in U.S.A. and all no shipping. Someone know where to find this spring in Canada?
