Yugo M75 "sniper" grade 8mm

[markw76]

AIM and Widener's both selling this, vague about whether its corrosive or boxer primed but supposed to be nicely made Prvi Partizan. 2MOA capable or better out of a good barrel.

It's good stuff, but only available stateside - unfortunately.

I have not used any of this batch,but,based upon what I know and what I understand this is very good ammunition.I have no solid test to back me up but I have little or no doubt but that it is corrosive.Good,Yes.Corrosive primed,Yes.Will

I would treat as corrosive to be on the safe side. Use of windex on the bore before cleaning only takes a few minutes. I still have bunch of Rom 8mm so I am in no use to get the Yugo. Still looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

[markw76]

Well, I bought 600 rds of it, so I guess I'll find out as soon as the weather breaks, which should be around March...

It is corrosive and Berdan primed. It's basically M49 with tighter production standards.

really nothing to write home about. Back when it was $.40 and Yugo 50 was $.20 , I got some of it and shot with a scoped K98. The accuracy was better, but not twice as good as the good ole 50's. Now, that their prices are almost on par, I would get the m75, because it is a little better.
Unfortunately, having a few thousands of the old Yugo stacked around the house, I will stick to what I have. Reducing charge in this old ammo has led me to this results : (the white targets are for M75)
