    PPU is Prvi Partisan, a serbian ammo factory. Decent brass. The headstamp "nny" is the same manufacturer, the same initials actually but in Cyrillic.

    Hrmmm..... My experience with this stuff is that it's a bit on the soft side. Use appropriate caution.

    PPU is Prvi Partisan and I have had excellent results in 7.5 Swiss. Graf brass is made by
    Prvi. THe cyrillic characgters are "Pi" (greek letter) and "Y", but transliterate to PPU.

    I've loaded GFL before. Can't say as I saw any difference on the PD mounds. If I've got a few odd headstamps here and there I actually use them for my cast Trail Boss loads. Good shootin' so far. They kill prairie dogs too. RD
