Got this ammo in an estate sale and thought perhaps some of our vets might be able to identify it, I sure can't.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
Hey that was probably made for my Hakim .
Well, it did take a little longer than 5 minutes but I just knew it would be figured out quickly. Thanks guys, now I know the rest of the story.
So, would this fit a Mauser model 98 perhaps? I say this due to getting a butchered Model 98 in the same sale.

Yes if its 8mm it fits the 8mm Mauser .
Thanks, I ordered some Cerrosafe earlier to check both Mausers actions. I'm hoping the Argentine Mauser is 7.65x53.

I hope its better then the case of Egyptian 9mm I got back in the early 90's.
I moved that case around for over 20yrs,,, before I finally broke down and just pulled all the 124gr bullets.
Though I guess at like $.03 rd it actually turned out a pretty good deal when compaired to jacketed bullet prices...

A friend of mine thought pretty highly of the Egyptian 9mm ammo. Be warned the 9mm was corrosive and the 8mm almost certainly is as well.
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
According to "The Cartridge Guide" the Arabic marking at the top means: 'Misr = Egypt. Mark used 1952-1958 o^ Egyptian Military.
Any photos of the Mauser?

Boy, my warped mind! I read the title of the thread I thought maybe somebody figured out a way to load up and shoot cat turds!

That tells me a lot about the case of egyptian 9mm ammo I found the other day and had forgotten about..
I have about 3k rounds of those, yep they are Egyptian for sure mine all shot great out of my FN49, g43, and hakim.
The Egyptian stuff was always a bit hot, the primers are the corrosive part. The key is being able to figure out if it’s the rifle ammo or the MG ammo. The MG will crack stocks, etc,,,,,,
Stay away from the Somalian stuff it’s garbage. The good stuff is the Yugoslavian ammo, it was manu’ed for the commercial market when then didn’t even have 8mm in military inventory.

I saw a 91 Argy way back when that was rechambered and stamped for 308 Win. I don't think I would be comfortable shooting full-house 308 in that gun.
