Re: Equidorian 8MM
The stuff I got was PURE JUNK 
Had 2 HANG FIRES!!!! 
,several non-fires, pulled the projectiles and dumped the rest.I might have gotten a bad batch but, from what I have heard from others I shoot with, South American ammo is questionable at best.

A good rule to follow is...if you wouldn't drink their water,don't use their ammo! Roumanian is good,Portuguese too. ---bil

Re: Equidorian 8MM
Yugo works in an original MG-42, but I much prefer Romanian. The Yugo primers are hard, and some are recessed too deeply, and some of the guys with semi M-53's may have occasional light strikes as a result.

Re: Equidorian 8MM
By Yugo you mean the 70's stuff and not the 50's right?

Re: Equidorian 8MM
Shoot heck out of the 50s stuff in my MG34, runs just fine; but the same stuff doesn't work well at all in my MG08, due to the hard primers.
Incidentally, I got some Portugese that was really lousy with hangfires, duds and so forth. Dunno why, but my experience there was not good. I had the same thing with Ecuadorian.
Romanian is king! Thats the best stuff out there!
