I have a small quantity of 8x57 ammo that I believe is Turkish. After watching a Forgotten Weapons episode about using cheap ammo in nice guns with particular comments about Turkish 8x57 (he cracked a stock on a K98), I am hesitant to shoot it. So, I pulled the bullet on one which came out quite easily in spite of the what looked to be a serious crimp I found it was boxer primed and filled with flake powder under a nickel jacketed bullet. My thought is to sprinkle the powder in my garden and refill with a known powder and reseat the bullets. I am guessing that the primers are corrosive so proper cleaning after shooting would be required. At the present, I am not sure what the bullets weigh but would use a light load from a manual that is appropriate for the bullet. Any thoughts on this plan?
