I'm pleasantly surprised. The moment you mentioned year of manufacture, given some of the other ammunition I seen tested, I was expecting quite a few Click..1...2..3..4..BANG! hang fires and failure to fires. It must have been exceptionally well stored.
Yes, that is what people say about Yugo 1940 ammo on forums. Better in terms of reliability than say 1953 Yugo ammo with fewer or no hangfires to be expected. People have speculated that the 1940 ammo was better stored.
Lol finding Yugo surplus ammo "cheap!" That's funny, bro! But yes, Serbian Mauser clips are top tier. My second favorite are Romanian due to similar style and construction but their lubricity isn't quite as slick as Serbian but they still retain the cartridges and still feed well.
The crest is different because the crest on the M24/47 and all of the rifles manufactured and refurbed after WW2 were done under commies whereas in 1940 they weren't filthy yet. (From some accounts they were actually the most advanced and well off communist state economically speaking during the cold war).
The 1940’s yugo 8mm is kinda rare to find, right ?? I would stick with the late 50’s yugo/serbian ammo for the Hakim rifles !! Just me, but also I luv Zastava for their AK rifles & modern 8mm Mauser PPU ammo Serbian !!
Be careful shooting that old ammo. You risk breaking tge stock on your rifle. You would be wise to pull that ammo, weigh the powder charge of each round, find the average and reduce it a whole 2 grains. Protect your rifle. Thats my nickels worth of free advice.
The M24/47 is a newer stock that didn't see abuse. So long as his recoil lug is nice and tight it should be fine. Yugo ammo wasn't sent to and stored in third world sh holes afaik so its pressures won't be excessive. I specifically bought another M48A to avoid damaging my K98k (and I missed having an M48A) when using up my little stockpile of turk to make room for more Romanian (if it'll still exist and be economically sound) or for S&B/PPU.
It's not BT3 this is actually WTZ in cyrylica alphabet. "VOJNO TECHNICKY ZAVOD" Military Technical Institute
The headstamp is in cyrillic for Војно-технчички завод, or the Military Technical Institute in Kragujevac, Serbia.

I feel like the standard of deviation wasn't even that bad considering that one 2249 shot might of been a fluke

How many rounds of 1940 Yugo did you fire? Was it just what we can see in the video?
pre-communism

Do you have any experience with Russian 7n1 7.62x54r?
But why the velocities are much lower than german one?

With Turkish ammo, this can be a concern. This ammo is still well within what you would expect for velocities.
