I ordered 100 new 7X57 Mauser Prvi Partizan brass from Graff & son for $25.99. looks like a good deal, I have never used this brass before, first time at the 7X57 Mauser. And a day of looking for brass, this seemed to be the best price I found. If this brass is any good. I will be loading these with Red Dot not very hot and a cast bullet weight I got off the forum. I like the red dot in my 30 cal, cast rifle loads. So when the Midsouth and Graff orders show up, I guess I will find out for myself.

My experience with it has been excellent. Same brass has either a "nny" or 'ppu" headstamp.

It just seemed to good to be true, they have it listed on sale at about half price, I saw 100 cases 7X57 once fired for $40.00 on some of the sites I looked at..

I ordered 200 ea. from Graf's a couple of months ago.
Some fine brass. Shoots great out of my rifle !

50 yards , 5 shots with the Lee 132 gr. " Soup Can " , 7 X 57 mm Ruger , Stainless
Steel, Model 77 , Mark II , Yes, I'd say that it is some pretty good brass :

I've used Grafs brass in several calibers and it seems to be fine stuff.

Prvi Partizan brass is top shelf IMO. I've used a lot of it, it seems to never wear out compared to domestic commercial stuff like Winchester and Remington. Most of my purchased brass is Starline (deliberate choice based on results), and most of my rifle brass is either LC match or PP brass in the other calibers that Starline doesn't make, particularly Swedish Mauser.

Grafs brass, apparently made by Prvi Partisan is good stuff. I have won a bunch of Swiss
medals with their brass.

I've found it to be pretty good too. I haven't weighed them to check for consistency. Any idea how they fair volume consistency wise?

I use it in 6.5 Carcano and 7.5 Swiss. I like it.
They are about the only game in town for good, inexpensive brass for old military rifles

PRVI was the only brass I could find available for my 7.5 Swiss when I got it five years ago.

That rifle consistently makes 3/4" groups at 100 yards, so I'm not about to change.

Some of the PRVI brass has 25 loadings.... and still going strong.

Yeah, it's good brass.

You could always make 7x57 brass out of 30/06 or 270 cases. Resize, anneal and trim.

What kind of rifle will you be using and what is the purpose of the loads?

My 7mm Rolling Block has a generous chamber. Even with reduced loads and neck sizing, brass life is limited. Range pickup 270 cases make fine 7mm brass.

I use it in 8x56R, 7.62x54R, 7.65x53, 7.5x55 and 6.5x52 no complaints. I just wish Starline would do another run of 7.62x38R.

I've been picking up more and more brass with those headstamps lately, at the range. I wondered who made them. Thanks for that information. Tt.

I've used a lot of their brass in various calibers. If I weigh cases I do find some wild swings but not all that many out of say 500. It has always worked well for me with good case life.
