PRVI PARTIZAN RIFLE BRASS ??????????

Hi,
Looking for some brass to form into 219 Wasp (pretty time intense) and have never used PRVI PARTIZAN RIFLE BRASS before. Powder Valley has it in stock. Would appreciate any input. Would also ask if anyone knows who might have 219 Zipper brass for sale.

Thanks
Doug
 
I've reloaded .223 PPU brass for my AR's. The primer pockets stay tight longer than some other brass, especially Federal commercial brass.

I have loaded 7.62x54R and 7.5x55 Swiss cases and it is really good brass. Consistent weight and it last really well. It is as good or better than Rem, WW or Fed.
 
I shot some in my .223 Savage Axis that I loaded with 68gr. Hornaday bthp bullets. The brass was once fired range brass. Pockets were tight, reloaded nicely, shot and extracted easily.
 
Prvi worked great for me in my .223 Bench gun. I still have some as a back up to Lapua that I use in all my rifles. But I think its safe to say, Prvi is as dependable and could be as long lasting as Lapua.

I have been prepping 200 rounds of P-P brass for a 260 Remington gas gun. I couldn't find any domestic brass in 260 or 243, and didn't want to sling 260 Lapua brass all over the range to never be found again. I measured the P-P and found it all to be very close in overall length none over 2 thousands different then any other. The necks have been annealed, and primer pockets are tight and seem to take the same pressure to seat the primers. I was about to declare this stuff as good as Lapua. But I did find some thing to bitch about. The flash holes are not centered on all cases. After I ran the cases through a 260 Remington die I trimmed for OAL with a Lee tool and the case gauge that goes in the case mouth and into the primer flash hole would bind up and was impossible to hold cause the shaft was binding on the inside of the neck. I have a Ron Hoen tool that centers the flash hole on the primer pocket and this helped but it is not perfect. I don't know if this is a problem with accuracy or not. Other than flash holes I like this brass a lot.
 
Bought 200 a year or so ago loaded in 168s and 175s in 308. They shot as good as FGM. I have been reloading them and with 175gr Barnes Match Burners, they shoot 5 shot groups in the low 2s. Not sure if I would declare them as good as Lapua, but I can't argue so far. I have about 30 that have been reloaded 4 or five times and the primer pockets are still tight.
