PRVI brass?

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

Any one using it? I just got a bag of 100 in .308 from Graf's for 33 bucks. Looks nice, am I in for any rude awakenings?

I like prvi brass, good stuff, at least the 8mm was.

I use it (headstamp NNY) in 6.5 Swede and 7.5 Swiss and find it works as well as any American manufactured brass.

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

Hmm, mines head stamped PPU

Glad to here its not junk! Thanks

[Von Gruff]

I have used a bit in 7x57 and a lot in 223 I reformed down to 20VarTarg. Good quality.

All my Carcano brass is NNY/Prvi. Nothing wrong with it at all.

I just got 100 7.65 Argentines from Huntington's. They look great. I've never had any problems with it. I believe it's the stuff Hornady uses for their loaded ammo in the oddballs. With a Hornady headstamp it's considered premium brass and costs like it.

My reloads with Privi last a long time in my Enfield.
I run them hot also.

I bought a bag of it for my Hornet and lost 20% to splitting with medium loads. Maybe I got a bad batch but I am not willing to try another one.

[Wayne Smith]

I have Privi brass in both 7.5 and 8x56R and have been using them for years with no problems. Stub, I would guess you did get a bad batch.

I have PRIVI brass from Graff's in 7.62x54r, 7.65x53 Argentine, .308 Winchester, 7.5x54 French MAS, and 7x57 Mauser. No problems at all. I just wish that Graff's could get more of it in stock as there are other calibers I need, like 8x56r and 6.5x55 Swede.

Correct and consistant flange (rim) dimensions for the SMLE. Thus far 11x firings without a problem. Annealed necks after 6th. firing. Prefer it over Norma for price. Same applies to 7.62x54r.

Now using 7.5x55 in a K31 on loan from oldest son. Had to buy 40 rounds loaded stuff from Graf. Wish all to heaven this Boxer primed brass were more readily available. No problems here to report.

Huntington's Die Specialties (I think) is the name of the place where I get hard to find brass. They have a web site. So far they always have what I need. Fair prices.

[geargnasher]

Prvi Partisan brass is good stuff, I prefer it to most domestic brands. The only thing I like better is Starline, and they don't make much rifle brass.

i've had real good luck with it in 8x57, seem's to hold up well even with stout loads.

[garbear]

I use it in to reload my k-31. Good brass.

[shooter93]

I use a lot of it and we all owe Grafs a big thank you for having runs made of hard to find brass and selling it reasonably and Huntington's is another. Both are great people to deal with.

No problems with what I have used.

glad to hear the good thoughts. Now, I just
have to get my new reloading cave finished so
I can start loading and shooting again. I feel
handicapped running low on loaded ammo :-(

Privi 7.62 X 54R has treated me good so far!

"nny" is the Cyrillic spelling of the initials for Prvi Partisan. In Roman letters, it is "PPU". You can find both headstamps on commercial brass/ammo these days. The "nny" used to be more common, lately it looks like "PPU" is more common.

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

interesting spqrzilla,
thanks for the tidbit!
