GUNBUGS Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Looking for 8mm ball to run a C&R MG34. Not opposed to buying some S&B or Prvi. Also have a friend with a couple cases of Romanian, but I'm leery of the laquered steel cases. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogman5 Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 I only have a semi auto, but I've had great luck with Romanian and 90's Yugo for 8mm. I know many others who have run Romanian through their guns with great success, and the 90's Yugo is basically corrosive primed modern PPU production stuff. Stay away from questionable surplus like 50's Yugo and Turkish and you should be ok. When in doubt, do some research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Romanian should be fine unless it is the green lacquer, but I don't know much about it.. Turkey is what I watch out for. Here's a old post I was working on a while back.. https://www.sturmgewehr.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18040-mg34-questions-becoming-a-8mm-ammo-list/ Edited April 17, 2023 by Ryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
