It could be russian, dont know. Sounds like turkish from the 40's. The russians may have produced it though to shoot thru battlefield pick up weapons.

I would be suprised if the Russians made it, they might have made some to store away with their captured Mausers, although they might have captured enough ammo to make that moot. Some eastern europeans made 8MM ammo while behind the iron curtain, but I know in at least one case it was made with steel cases like Russian or late German war ammo. What is the headstamp on the ammo? Cause it should be in Cyrillic characters if Russian made I would think.

UXA is Sellier & Bellot, probably the Zbrojovka Vlasim factory, made for military export.
Yugo.

Yeah, it is Yugoslav.
The Yugoslavs use the Cyrillic alphabet, same alphabet the Russians use. In other words Yugoslav writing is the same as Russian writing. Those are the only 2 countries I know of that use that writing style. |
