Hi:
I am new to the MG34 world. Has there been any problems with running the 1950s Yugo surplus ammo?
Thank you.

Please do a search for ammo...8mm ammo, ect. Many questions have been discussed at great lengths already.
personally I would stick with Romanian. I have heard of zero problems with it. Just seems to be more consistant. J and G sales has it as well as others.
I have heard mostly of problems with 50' yugo. 54' yugo having DEEP primers, hard primers. Not being consistant and so on. Most seem to run 70' yugo ok. I guess it just depends on what you are running it in and how tight or loose your chamber is. But I am just staying away from all yugo until the Romanin supply is gone.
Also, I have started checking every round visually and in a case headspace gage on all my surplus....even Lake City 7.62. I have found some that just fall into my case go/no go gage...but that was lake city stuff. not romanian 8mm. Just saying you should give all surplus a quick look.
