I thought the question was about ammo, surplus military and commercial,

The Yugo and Romanian ammo would be more like your Remington ammo.

"The Turkish ammo closely resembles the 1916 version, German S cartridge which (according to Olson) has a muzzle velocity of 2936 fps from 29" barrel and pressure of 44,082 lbs/sq in. The Yugo ammo would duplicate the German sS cartridge for which Olson gives 2575 fps in 29" barrel and 46,926 lbs/sq in."

Most of the information above is in the first link to Turkish ammo, as stated the Turk ammo is close to the German 'S' cartridge of 1916, this being true the Germans using Mausers did not get the .318 and .323 confused, or?
