Bought 45 rounds of Yugo surplus 8mm ammo at gun shop yesterday.
Did some checking on internet and found this does not have stellar reviews; there were 3 or 4 people who warned against even firing ammo that was marked 1955 factory 11(the ammo I purchased). I went ahead and shot it anyway; first four went fine, fifth split case about half way up. Anyone have any experience with this particular ammo. Rifle is 1935 K98

thanks
Jim
