WTK - 8mm, Non-corrosive?

Gopher · March 20, 2006, 19:16

O.K., I've searched but I can't find out. 8mm, on links, Cyrillic lettering that looks like "nny" and "82" as a headstamp, Corrosive or not?
Thanks

corrosive - Yugo - but good accuracy - I like it. SOG ad vertised it as NC - gave me a partial refund. NBD

Here is some 80's Hirt 8mm ( scroll down)

"Mfg. Hirtenberger Patronen, Austria, '80s, FMJ, NC/BO (reloadable) 197 gr. Boattail. Packed 20 rds per box. 1920 rds per case. Wt. 132# per case.

36.9 cents per Round
200 rds $ 73.80

Probably great but at that price I'll never know.

OOps no links. Sorry

I have some 7mm mauser with this stamping. I bought them new and they were in Hansen boxes. I went to a gun show this weekend and found a box of 7.62x54r in a box and this also has that same stamping. Box says boxer primed and non corrosive. The 7mm is reloadable. I am pretty sure that the 7.62x54r is also.

The Hansen ammo is Commercial, BOXER primed noncorrosive ammo by the same factroy that made the 8mm Military ammo in question. The military 8mm they produce does have Berdan/Corrosive primers.

I did not know that. Good thing I might have bought some of that and thought if I did not clean right away that i was alright. Learn something new. Thanks

I think I'll stick to 10 cent yugo ammo and just clean my rifle when I return from the range.
