I've used PRVI in .308 & 6.5x55 Swede - many reloads - no problems !

Privi - .222 .243 and .308 excellent brass. Have reloaded all three and found it as good, if not better, than brass costing twice as much, in fact the complete round is cheaper than some brass and it shoots well in my rifles so Privi is a winner all round for me.

Thanks for all your replies, I guess it might put use of the 200 or so cases of 22.250 I have stored up but the price is so good for the factory load I'm struggling to justify reloading it

Yeah used it in hornet. Very thick bases -were stiff in my gun but no probs.
Smaller cases capacity than others - ended up using RP as that enabled me to get 13gr lilgun in (only 11.6 with prvi)
Don't know in other cals

Work up your loads CAREFULLY. PRVI brass is good but is thicker than some other brands; this combined with the fact that the flash hole is larger can raise pressures somewhat. I have found this with 308win PRVI brass. Maybe that's why PRVI load to lower velocities. But if factory shoots alright from the box why not stick with it and save yourself the work, cos it's quite time consuming. Unless you want to try different bullets of course. I have 90-ish .224" Barnes VLC 50 grainers which I bought for the 223rem but I think my twist is too tight @ 1-9" (shotgun grouping) you are welcome to them if you can collect from Dorchester. FAC etc. Hope this helps.

I know the Privi's not target spec but it does return inch & half groups at 100 yards, which does mean I can hit most things I shoot at
