Well, I tried to use some German surplus ammo in a Remington Model 7400 in the early 1990s. The Remington pulled through the rims. This ammo cycled through both my M1A and FN-FAL with no problems. Thus, I returned the rifle to Remington with a letter, they checked out the rifle and ascertained it was fine. The 7400 never worked with that ammo, but PMC, US military surplus and all commercial brands functioned the firearm flawlessly. So...I would suggest that if you want to shoot mil surp in a rifle, try it in that rifle first or get a military surp style rifle.
