This video provides a detailed evaluation of Romanian Pattern 1971 8mm Mauser ammunition, manufactured between 1972 and 1978 at the U.M. Sadu plant. The presenter notes the ammunition's slightly shorter case length compared to standard 8mm Mauser, a characteristic that does not seem to affect performance. The video covers packaging details, including wooden crates, tins, and boxes, with options for loose rounds or rounds on stripper clips. Firing tests were conducted using an 8mm Kar98k rifle, yielding an average velocity of 2674 fps. Bullet weights averaged 154.2 grains, and the ammunition features boattail bullets, Berdan primers, and lacquered steel cases, confirming it is corrosive.
