I am in the process of getting an M48 Yugo, and do not want to shoot corrosive ammo. Anyone have a load done up? Since these more or less have been sitting for a while (the rifles), do I need to have the headspace checked out?

O.K.
I think that it has been some time since you posted this, so I ask you the same question. What loads have you worked up for this rifle? |

I have found this to be a great target load for those carbines that kick a bit more. These data are out of my Yugo 48k
Enjoy! Bullet - 185 Remington FMJSP Powder - 36.0 grns IMR 4064 Primer - CCI OAL - 2.940 Vavg - 1917 |

Warning! Use these loads at your own risk. Download 10% and work up to a max load. Do not use loads listed over MAX in a reliable reloading manual.
That said, here are my standard 8x57JS loads: 150gr SP over 56gr Win748: ~ 3080 fps 150gr SP over 53gr Win748: ~ 2700 fps (less recoil, approximating .308) 175gr SP over 55gr Win748: ~ 2700 fps Remington cases, CCI primers. I use Hornady spire point (SP) bullets, seated to cannelure. No crimp. These work fine in my two M48A's, and my K98. Velocities are what I have measured with my chrono. Barrel length is stock (20") on all guns. -z |

With the aforementioned reloading caveat:
For my 8mm Mausers, I run:
170gr Speer Semi-Spitzer Winchester Large Rifle Primer 46.0 grains of IMR4895 This is a European-spec load, exceeding pressures as loaded by American commercial 8mm Mauser manufacturers. Pressures are fine in my 98 Mausers and FN-49. And boy, do they do a nice job on Wisconsin whitetail and Wyoming Elk! |
