Thoughts on PPU ammo?

[pawncop]

Local WallyWorld has PPU 380 ACP at $16.00/box. Manufactured in Serbia. 94 grain FMJ

Did one search and found mostly good comments.

Thought I would check in here to see if anyone has anything to say.

Looked back a couple of pages and did not see any threads.

Any comments good or bad?

Haven't had any issues with it so far. I have it in 223, 22-250 and 308. A few friends of mine have told me that the brass is very good to reload, but I have not reloaded any of it yet.
Cabela's has a good price on it for 308 & 22-250 (around $14.99 I think).

I've shot a mess of it in various calibers over the years. I've yet to run into a problem with the factory rounds (or the brass for reloading). (Again, in various calibers,) it tends not to be especially accurate from my guns and it tends to be at the low end of velocity range for any given caliber/bullet weight (in of my chrono results that I can pull up quickly, I see PPU gives the lowest velocities of any factory load in a caliber).

Blasting ammo.

Fired some 223 in my Bushmaster AR-15 carbine and worked fine. The brass seems to be okay to load. Buy a box and give it a try

I don't shoot .380, but I've got PPU in every CF caliber I do shoot - 9mm, .38, .357, .45 and .223, and it's one of my preferred brands.

My son and one of his buddies tried a box of it in 7.62x54R. Cratered and pierced primers. Russian ammo didn't show this.

Can't say I've had any experience with Prvi Partizan's .380 ammo, but I've had nothing but positive experiences with their .38 Special and 5.56mm M193 loads.

I used it in a brand new 9mm pro. Lots of fte and j.ambs. Went to winchester white box and it ran perfect. My vote is not impressed.

Their .303 174gr.FMJ performs on a par w/MkVII Ball in my No.4 MkI* chopper.

I've only tried it in one caliber, 32 acp. I chronographed it and it only
averaged about 815 fps which is the slowest 32 acp of any brand that
I have ever tried.

I have used it in a 22 Hornet. Very good brass and no complaints at all.

I get 1 moa or better with their 303 and my 1918 SMLE.

All the other calibers I've never had a problem with. It's good for cheap blasting brass

 

[Duster340]

No problems with their .303 and 7.62x39 stuff.

I have used it in my 2 9mm guns and my AK... Ran fine and seems accurate....

Only issue that I had was in the AK. I used their round nose soft point and had 1 failure to feed. AK ammo is usually pointed instead of rounded on the nose. Thats what caused the issue...

Re: PPU, i.e. Prvi Partizan ammo
500 rounds of .45 acp in two different model 1911's and 500 rounds of 5.56x45 ammo in two different rifles have been zero problems.
