I just ordered 900 rds of 196gr brass/corr from Wideners for $205/$233 shipped.Good range ammo with a
Yugo 24/47 and a 98-40?

Good ammo..if yourbolt is greasy inside or contains a tired firing ping spring, expect some misfires that may well go on the second strike.

Thank you.The price would have been much better without the shipping tagged on but what can you do.I was at Allentown this weekend and an ammo seller had old 8mm (dont know it it was Czech or Yugo or what) in 15 rd boxes for $7 ea.I asked what he could do for 10 boxes.He said he wouldn't charge me tax ($4.20).Went to another vendor and got 2 boxes of PRVI (reloadable)for $30,just for something to run through my 98-40 till I get the Yugo from Widener's.

FYI SOG has it cheaper than Wideners, don't know if it would end up being cheaper though with shipping from Ohio to NJ.

I got several cases from sog. Clean sure fire. powerful! Stretched my spring on the yugo mauser. Works fine!

I bought one can of 8mm from SOG and got no wood crate - not happy. They said they could ship the wood for the same cost as the ammo shipped. Gimme a break. I got a case of 7.62x39 on clips from wideners and it included the crate. The crate even has a label with the guns the ammo is good for: M59, M59/66, M70, etc. Very cool.

Apart from that, the 8mm is real pretty and doesn't attract a magnet.

Looks like it would be about + or - $15 less from SOG.

The ad in Wideners has this disclaimer:

DOES NOT SHIP IN WOODEN CRATE
