I need some help from you guys that know old commie bloc ammunition.
I bought an old ('50-'52) Yugoslav M48 that came with a can full of 8mm Mauser (7.92x57) ammo.
It had a bunch of these oddballs in a bag. The normal rounds are rimless, these are rimmed.
A magnet sticks to both the case and the bullet.
The bullet is .7.87mm/ .310".
Overall length 76.55mm/3.0".
Neck 8.40mm/.331".
Rim 14.30mm/.564"
The closest I can figure is 7.62x53r Finnish but it is close to Russian specs as well.
