If the Saiga won't extract CETME ammo, then that's saying something!!!!!!!! The CETME has been known for failing to extract commercial ammo due to hotter load, and thinner walled cart. So if this ammo is made specifically for a rifle that is prone to have those problems and it is doing it in the semi auto rifle that I think of as being about the least likely to have that fte. It may be wise to find somebody with a bullet puller. Be safe C. S.
