What is this 7.9 mm ammo????
I got about 900 rounds at a garage sale. The boxes are marked:
15 rds 7.9 mm cartridge for light machine gun M37 NC-05 Lot PPU 59/78 Lot MBL 86/78 very clean brass case with headstamp of nny 1975. I believe the M37 was an 8mm Italian MG. |

Sounds like Yugoslavian 8x57mm ammo for the ZB26/30 (Yugoslavian M37).

Thanks for the replys. I guess it is too hot to use in my Hakim. Is it too hot to use in my K98?

The Yugo ammo looks like the primer is set in deep,not flush with the base. The DOU will shoot the Romainian just fine. |

::: Please explain. What sort of "kaboom" in what sort of weapon.. Did it blow the weapon apart, put an eye out, what? Caliber, Any lot #s? There's a lot of yugo out there and enquiring minds want to know!
