I just purchased a MG34 and was wondering what the best 8MM was for It? (and cheap) I heard Turkish is bad for It. I see some Yugo m75 sniper grade pretty cheap but was wondering if that had higher pressures? does anybody know of good cheap ammo? I dont care if Its corrosive.

First off, last I checked, that "sniper" grade yugo was all that is left for surplus 8mm ammo anyways....

And I don't think it would be a problem, not in a 34. Besides, what else would you use.....$1 a round commercial ammo? LOL.....

does anyone know the best deal on the yugo stuff right now?

Romanian steel cased ran the best in mine. Unfortunately it's expensive now at 100.00 per 360rd tin on average. You might try 50's Yugo too.

Samco Hirtenberger 8mm

Samco advertises 8mm Hirtenberger for about .37/round also.

I assume it's a semi, since you are in Cali. If so I have shot Turk (1938-1943 date) exclusively in my TNW mg34 for the last 5 years with no problems, 1.5-2K rounds ran 100%. Yugo will give you problems because of the hard primers, maybe 1 in 25-30 won't go off. Romanian is the best but unless you stacked it deep in the past you'll pay for it.
Free advice, for what it's worth.

romy is the best for a 34 or 42. Those guns really like the steel cased stuff. Dont know that it would matter so much with a semi though.
