Please ID this ammo. Country of origin, corrosive, possibility of hang fire?

Thanks!

Yes, corrosive.
Known to have hard primers so some rifles may need stouter firing pin springs.
Overall decent surplus and reliable if firing pin
Spring up to the task.

Do hard primers cause hangfires?

Do hard primers cause hangfires?

If you mean click/bang, no. Just click and usually they go on the next try.

rarely, even the best firing pin spring will not ignite these reliably.

I heard that bullets that old just bounce-off modern day paper zombie targets.

'53 8mm Yugo - just a bad batch of primers that would not ignite. I ended up pulling the dud rounds/powder for reuse.

'54 8mm Yugo - primer leak and brittle brass. The Mauser 98s gas venting system works like a charm!

Another thing to check for FTF is firing pin protusion
