If you shoot it, or your interested party shoots it in an MG, you will have to check each and every round for split necks. The Turk brass is brittle. Have no idea why, but if a round goes in say a 1919, the round will usually leave the bullet in the feed area and shove a bulletless cartridge up into a very hot chamber making for an “interesting” display. Some of the Turk is extremely volatile. Bent top covers have been reported after a chamber explosion.

Most Turk ammo is being sold as component ammo only. I.E, you are buying the bullets only. Pull’em apart, toss the powder into the garden/lawn and scrap the brass. 

Last cases I bought were .07 cents a round, a year ago.
