Greek 8mm Mauser Surplus Ammo (1940): Worthwhile?

A quick overview of some 1940-dated, Greek-made 7.92x57 ammo offered on the current market from the perspective of casual plinking.

It's been working well for me. Glad to have it for the price. Hope its good to you as well.

Very sweet, i havent had a chance to get to the range to test mine. Excited to see if it is alright stuff.

Excellent review! My experience mimics yours. Fired 40rds and only one required a second strike, although I am running a Wolff 22lb spring. Fired brass looked good on all. For $349 shipped I think it was a solid deal.

For sure, I’m surprised it didn’t sell faster than it did.

Thanks for the review!

Worked good for 8mm Mauser man and readiness reviews

[@baimeistudent]

Great deal! I picked up a buch of boxes of the same back in 2022 at a local reloading shop. $14.99 per 20 rounds, so I spent almost $1 more per round 😅 I didn't care the cost though because no one had any and I wanted some as a collector item to display.

Got a 22lb wolff they work great !

[@SCH292]

What I really like is how the ammo are package inside those 20 round boxes. Anybody know about box packaging? Lol. Cuz I do like those type of boxes.

[@Mopatriot1776]

So you think it will work for a hakim or a converted m1 garand

[@hobofactory]

@@Mopatriot1776 tbh I’m not sure. I’m not one to use corrosive ammo in semi-autos since the cleaning process is more involved with the gas systems and such.

[@Mopatriot1776]

@@hobofactory Yeah Id bave to learn the proper way to clean a semi Auto from corrosive but if this Greek stuff will run hakim I could spend like 600 bucks and have 2,000 rounds of 8mm ready to go for if any end of days type deal
