Due to the price of brass that I can find and my reluctance to dip into my powder just yet, I bought a case of PPU-347 M1 Garand ammo at SGAmmo for about $60-$70less than I can currently reload for with new components and 150 FMJ's.
I have used PPU brass in in bolt action rifles with really great results, but never in a semiauto. I usually get 5 loads out of Winchester brass in the M1 in the past and I was curious as to what others may be getting out of PPU. I minimally resize the case and it is a very tight chamber, so the reason for tossing them is loose pockets.
Anyone used this ammunition? Last I checked Federal was the only company to offer M1 ammo. But it seems now that PPU, Hornady, and Winchester have joined in too.
