Aside from the odd gunbroker auction, does anyone still have Yugo 8mm?

The dud-o-matic rounds are cheaper but pointless.
You are, I assume, talking about the 1950's vintage stuff.

They are not duds, but hard primers. Usually a second hit makes them fire. This is also fixable with a $8 mainspring.

I should have been more specific about the ammo source.
The dud-o-matic stuff is the current Egyptian, and Iranian ammo on the market. Even the on-line sellers are posting it's a problem.
The 50's Yugo is great stuff if you have the firing pin spring for it. Normally a good cleaning and lubing the bolt and parts well take care of the hard primers. I went through that with my first Yugo M48.
I have about 1300 rds of 50's and 60's Yugo. Out of the 450-500 rds I have shot maybe 3-5% were defective. That's good considering I paid 5 cents around on average.
