Re: 8mm mauser surplus ammo
Be advised that about 99% of surplus 8mm is CORROSIVE. No big deal if you clean after shooting.

Re: 8mm mauser surplus ammo
I bought a case of Turkish and a case of Polish (years ago) and both worked great. Came in sealed crates. The easiest way to clean after shooting corrosive is to wet down a patch with windex and run it through and wipe off the bolt head. It will neutralize the corrosive proporeties and then clean as usual.

Re: 8mm mauser surplus ammo
Biggest problem with the Turkish ammo is case splitting along the neck. Check every round closely.
