Reloading prvi partizan 30-06 brass

[RPRNY]

I have a fair amount of once fired prvi partizan 30-06 brass. It seemed perfectly good ammunition the first time through but before I prepped it for reloading, I thought I would check on whether anyone has experienced negative issues with prvi partizan brass. Your informed opinions most welcome.

I reload a pile of it and it seems about the same as any other in pistol calibers. The primer pockets might be a bit tight but otherwise OK. I have heard some complain about off center primer holes but none of my Privi rifle or pistol brass has been made that way. I am thinking you are good to go.

I've used it in 8mm and 7.5 Swiss. Seems like good brass to me.

With some lots, the primer pockets don't have much radius on them and require a light chamfering for ease of priming. Otherwise, it's decent brass.

I bought 100rds of PPU .243 brass from Graf's and re-formed it to .260 so I'd have new brass when I started loading/feeding my rifle. I've gotten excellent accuracy but no better than what I get with re-formed Federal, Winchester, or Remington.....

Thanks. Will keep an eye on primer pockets.

I'm in the process of making a bunch of once fired brass in 7.62x54R and my brother is doing the same in 308. Once we are done making the brass, the intent is to reload it. I haven't heard anything negative about PPU brass and it is about the only reasonable way to get reloadable brass for some calibers.

I've used bunches of it, in multiple chamberings, and it's all been good.

No worries.
