Yugo m48a Ammo??

[73cj5]

going to the harrisburg show on sat. is there anything i should look for or lookout for. havent bought any ammo yet and dont want to hurt myself or the gun. i always see the 8mm in bandoliers cheap, is this a good buy.

also can i clean it normally after i shoot it with corrosive ammo or do i have to get a special sollution for this? thanks again!

The Turk ammo in bandoliers is hot and will probably shoot up to a foot high in the Yugo as it is a different weight than the Yugos were set to. But it is safe enough to use in my experience. I just don't like it shooting so high. There's a good post here somewhere that compared different years of Turk production and the pressures obtained. One year was considered unsafe to shoot but I can't remember which year. Alot of years were really hot. Anyone know who posted that link? It might be in the ammo forum or the Mauser forums.

I buy ammo for my Yugo from CDNN. It's Yugo ammo and is about $38 shipped for 380 rounds I think.

WGA has Romanian 8mm that's supposed to be good in these too.

Yesterday, I shot 20 rounds of that stout Turk ammo. Then I test fired my 150 grain handloads. They were sissy rounds and shot 6 inches low with the recoil of an AR15. :gay:

Rinse/scrub the bore, chamber, bolt face and first inch or so of the outside of the muzzle with windex and then clean as normal and you should have no problems with corrosive ammo.

Just to be on the safe side, check after a day or so and make sure all is still ok.

Best of luck,
