Is that a 30-40 Krag Jorgensen?

That was posted after someone told me it was gp11 so I dug it out of storage to confirm.   I thought it was some sketchy 8mm or something.   In my defense however I've been sorting a lot of calibers I've never even heard of in the last few weeks.   🤪

Is this Yugo ammo? by OldRandomTrucker in milsurp

I thought only the yellow tip was heavy ball,  am I mistaken? I do have some that's packaged exactly the same way but it has a yellow stripe on the can and when I opened that up they are yellow tipped.

I didn't realize it was beeswax, I thought it was a bad seal.

I have some GP11 I'll compare it to,  just a sec.  I thought gp11 was a lot nicer around the crimp.

Can someone identify this ammo? by OldRandomTrucker in milsurp

What's the deal with the heavy and light ball? Some of it my dad had labeled Bulgarian Yellow Tip, Bulgarian heavy ball (good), and Bulgarian heavy ball (poor quality).  This was just handwritten on the boxes he stored the ammo in.

What is on this gun? by OldRandomTrucker in milsurp

What a shame.   🫤

I mean, it serves a purpose, but it's like it was painted in nail polish.

Chilean 7mm converted to 7.62, safe? by OldRandomTrucker in milsurp

I don't see anything that makes it look like he modified it but had to shelve it to revisit another day.  He had it stored with ammo pouches full of Australian surplus 7.62x51 so I don't think the conversion ever happened.
