*Could* also be 7.92x33 but that's less likely.
It's loaded ammo, I assume? My Russian isn't the best.
Re: I did a dumb thing
5It's loaded ammo. And I don't have any 7x57 rifles. It's loaded and there are 10 boxes of it. It must be 8mm Mauser. That's the only thing I would have got or been given on purpose.
I have no recollection where I got it.

6That is Yugoslav 196 gr. FMJ BT 8mm Mauser made in 1954. 15 rounds/box on stripper clips. Good stuff. I have 300 rounds of it stored away.

77x57 is a different round than 7.92x57 (8mm Mauser), just FWIW.Inquisitor wrote:It's loaded ammo. And I don't have any 7x57 rifles.

17You all are right about what it is and how nice it is. Here's some other Yugo:

Re: I did a dumb thing
20Need to label the damn box.
Since I haven't shot it, the ammo that came with it got put up, but unlabeled. It took you guys telling me what it was to put 2 and 2 together and get 7.
More coffee. Or beer, or something.

Re: I did a dumb thing
21My Czech and Yugo Mausers shoot that stuff with no problem. My Turk is a different story; a light strike failed to fire and the case separated from the bullet when I ejected the round. I haven't slugged the barrel but I'll wager dollars to donuts that it was meant for the 147g projectiles.
