Looking for input - insight opinion.
I have recently found the pleasure of reduced rifle loads in 30-06. So, I have interest in doing the same with my Yugo 24/47. My thought was to pull the FMJ bullets from some surplus 1950s Yugo 8mm (that I really do not want to use do to it's corrosive nature and associated cleaning hassle), remove the powder, replace with Red Dot and reseat the FMJ..... OR.....as an option due to the high percentage of fail to fire with this ammo ...just pull the fmj and use my 30-06 re formed to 8mm brass ....scrapping the surplus brass, primer and powder altogether.
However ..before I undertake either endeavor... a question ..Is the powder the corrosive component in this surplus , the primer or both?
