    I've used it for .303.

    No problems and seems to be reasonably good. No where near Lapua quality, obviously, but a good budget case for the most part.

    Very good indeed for the price.
    I was amazed at the lack of weight variation in the first batch of PPU 243 brass I bought. I have necked it up to 25 calibre and fireformed it for my 25-243AI wildcat . It is holding up very well.

    Its ok for the cash you get it for, i use ppu 357mag case thay where £15 for 100 and i have used ppu 308win case thay where a job lot i got off hear think i paid £10 for 200 there ok. I do have Lapua case in 308win there the best but there £50 for 100, would just use these for Sunday best. Also better using cheap 357 case in a lever gun if you loose a case no big deal.

    I use it in 223 and find it easier to use than other mid-priced brass. I dont buy the brass just factory ammo and fire then reload.

    PPU Bras

    Hi Guys
    Ive been having a few issues with the new Privi PPU .22 Hornet Brass In My Anschutz 54 Match Heavy Barrel Target 1432 ESt , when I put any other round in and feed the bolt the bolt closes OK on to the bullet I have tried Sellier Bellot , Winchester, Remington they all chamber OK , when I do the Privi PPU they are tight to close the bolt on , I use an RCBS neck die to size my reloads.

    The Rifle is very very accurate and shoots extremely well one hole groups !

    Wondered if anyone had any issues or had any Ideas, forgot to say that I only neck size my reloads , used N110 7.5Grns with 45 Hornady soft points.

    anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried anything new.
