  • I do an unboxing and shoot some German made 8mm surplus ammo from 1938. This stuff is straight out a time machine. For ammunition that is 83 years old, this stuff is amazing. Hope you enjoy the video and Thanks for Watching.

    Dude, you don't even know what you have. Put it against a magnet. It's a K bullet. Look it up in Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_bullet S.M.K. is an acronym for "Spitzgeschoss Mit Kern" which means "pointed bullet with core." In this case a hardened steel core. It's a mild armor piercing bullet. If it had read S.M.K.H then H is for "hart" meaning hard or tungsten core. That would be a super penetrator and can defeat Level IV body armor. They are about $20 a round.

      I have shot two boxes and both were flawless. Hope you enjoy as much as I have and thanks for commenting.

    I would imagine that in the first group, the 5:00 'stray' was the cold bore shot. Nice find...look at all the 'once fired' brass you have now! Nice shooting...😎

      I thought it was pretty neat to be in such good condition. The brass is berdan primed and I am treating it as corrosive after I shoot it. Thanks for commenting, hope you are doing well.

      @@kyfirearms Oh my gosh...I didn't think about Berdan priming...that's a shame.
      I wonder if they are fueled by cordite?
      I had some early WWII 30-06 military that was loaded with cordite.

    KFW you’re sitting on a Gold Mine of history, that German ammunition looks to be the 198 Gr FMJ-BT. All you have to now is zero your rifles to this load and it put em all in the bullseye.

    Be careful with old 8mm mauser ammo. The primers in those days were very corrosive, made with mercury, and it will frost the inside of your barrel with pitting if you dont clean your barrel right away after shooting.

    • @kyfirearms
      @kyfirearms  2 роки тому +1

      Yes sir. I clean right after shooting. I have shot a lot of corrosive 7.62X54r and 7.62X25, so I know it's very important to clean well after shooting.

    I would save back some of those boxes, at least half of them. That stuff is armor piercing.

      @@kyfirearms By the way my first rifle ever owned was an 8 mm Mauser that arrived packed in cosmoline... I think I paid $49 for it... That was back in the 1970's... If I remember correctly my dad ordered it out of the back pages of a comic book...in those days they had advertisement in the back pages... He bought one also and we went to a junkyard and fired a few rounds....lol... Good old days
