    Question about Yugo 8mm ammunition

    I have recently seen some Yugoslav manufacture 8mm Mauser 196 grain ammunition advertised on GB and AA. The photos of the ammo show some beautiful cartridges that are in original sealed cases, have a headstamp of "nny 1992", and a designation of "M75." Some sellers state the ammo to be non-corrosive and others forego mentioning anything. Has anyone had any experience with this ammo to determine if it is corrosive or non-corrosive? Thanks!

    nny is Privi Partisan and the letters are cyrillic, now marked ppu in current production. Excellent ammo but I don't know if the '92 is corrosive. Should be berdan primed while the later stuff is boxer primed and non-corrosive. EXCELLENT AMMO!!

    M75 ammo was manufactured for their sniper weapons. All Yugoicon military 8mm ammo is corrosive, including this.
