Perhaps you've linked to an outdated page?

Actually shoots farily well, you get a little bit of venting through the bolt vents due to the steel case not sealing perfectly. But pretty good stuff.

Hakims love it.

Thx for the heads-up, the're $10 less than the last time they offered them. My can's on the way!

Good stuff! It seems softer in the recoil department then other stuff I've fed my Mausers.Had some Greek commercial that really kicked hard.

Where do they keep finding that stuff?

Recieved my UPS shipping confirmation 10 min ago. Woot.

Romania

I bought some a little while ago from AIM. Nice crate. Haven't opened it yet.

Once again, +1 to Yellowsled on the heads up, looks like they sold out quick! I got my shipment confirmation at 2pm.

I had bought some of that hard-primer 1950's Yugo stuff, which I don't intend to shoot anymore unless zombies come and I have nothing else left. I also bought some Czech nickel-plated rounds which are almost too beautiful to shoot, but only have about 4 15-packs left, as they sold out faster than this Rommy stuff when they were offered.

Anyway, I hope to have a day-long shooting session for Father's day next weekend, and will report then. (I also have a K31 coming next Wednesday, so it may be a bolt-action extravaganza at AGC for me! )

 

[yellowsled]

ur welcome... just looking out for fellow mds'ers

i put it up as soon as I found it. I hope a few people on here got some!

To answer the OP, yes, its smelly. Its all I have ever shot out of my M24/47. Fun to blast away with, price is right. The old price was 99 bucks with free shipping, I got 4 380 round cans in two wooden crates.

Good stuff! It seems softer in the recoil department then other stuff I've fed my Mausers.Had some Greek commercial that really kicked hard.

IIRC, the recoil is less due to the bullet being lighter than most of the other mil-surp 8 mm Mauser available today. I believe the Romanian is around 150-154 grain and the Yugo is 196 grain.

 

[yellowsled]

got my can today. a lil bit rusty as noted on the page, but can did fully appear to be intact.

 

[yellowsled]

get yours today, its back!
