Help! What is this stuff.

[REM3200]

I can't tell you the language let alone the caliber so any help appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd say 8mm mauser made in Yugo.

 

[tiriaq]

Yugoslav 8mm Mauser ball.

 

[REM3200]

Thank you for the info. That's one of those calibers that I've never owned.

So that means to be like "one of the boys" here.....your going out to buy a rifle that shoots the 8mm mauser?

Well as the saying goes " Been there and done that " . Trying to stick with mostly the .30 calibers and keep on feeding my shotgun addiction. Don't see a 8mm adoption in my furure.

Yugoslav ammo, russian writing....i will interpret as usual......"In this year of our Discontent, we make ammo at old Lada plant for dumb westerners, corrode barrel worst than Lada car corrode"

Sorry for the uneven translation, I have to translate first to Ukrainian, and alot is lost in the translation ie: the word" corrode" in UKR. is the same as "emptying ones' bowel".

kinda looks like 7.92 x 57 mm

 

[LocknLoad]

Yugo 8x57 mm ball. Case head should give you the year of manufacture.
