    1955 Yugoslavian 8X57 Ammo purchase

    I just picked up a few boxes of * 11 * 55 head stamped; Yugoslavian 8X57 Ammo made in 1955. Clean in the original boxes with stripper clips.

    Was thinking about shooting some out of my M48 while working at the range tomorrow but it's pristine, haven't got any this pretty in years.

    First World Problems I guess...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Pristine or not may have hangfires...I think you're asking if you should keep this beautiful ammo or shoot it? You bought it to shoot? Let's get the range report...?

    I didn't bring my Mauser with me this weekend. Maybe next month.
