What's the thoughts on this GreeK 8mm popping up everywhere, any good? What is your experience with it, if any?

Need ALOT more details than 'Greek 8mm popping up everywhere.'

I got 2 cases of 1940 from (about a year apart) and a few hundred rounds of 1939 and it has worked perfectly for me. The rounds are a little dusty from what I assume is being in cardboard boxes but that’s not really an issue. Centerfire systems ran a free shipping promotion a few weeks ago. For $399 you can’t go wrong these days. This stuff all seems to have been repacked by century into cardboard cases.

I got a 960rd case from CFS a couple of weeks ago for $349 shipped. My lot was mostly P C H 39 but has a bit of E K mixed in. Black primer sealant on all that I inspected. I also shook 80rds and can hear the powder moving freely inside.

I shot 40rds of it today from a minty Vz24 with a Wolff 22lb spring installed. 39 went off on the first hit, 1 required a second strike. No hang fires. Fired brass looks good, no split necks or anything odd. I didn't really do an accuracy test as it was raining and getting dark out, but it seemed on par with 1950's Yugo which is good in my book.

Might pick up another case, I'm just not too sure how deep I want to stack 84yr old ammo.

They no longer have that case of 960 for 349, but they have cases of 945 1939 dated stuff for 329 shipped. It could be a pricing error since it’s the same price s the 795 round cases of 1939 dated stuff that now show out of stock. I did not need another case, but I remembered when 8mm was hard to get about 10 years ago and couldn’t help myself at 35 cents per round.
