Prvi Partizan Brass

[Grunt67]

I was in my local reloading store , a couple of days ago, looking for bullets, powder, primers, just seeing how the stock looked ,
wasn't any. I did see some 45/70 brass, but wasn't familiar with the Mfg. It was Prvi Partizan. made in Serbia. Never heard of it,
was afraid of buying any.
Finally found it on Graf & Sons site, then looked it up further. Reviews were not favorable. Said it was lighter & thinner quite a bit over normal brass, likely require annealing, had trouble getting the brass to grip a bullet.
Just wondering, if any of you folks had heard of, or experience with this brass.

Thanks, Al. I've got 100 pcs of brass on order from Precision Reloading & 100 Hornady bullets on B/O from Midsouth, so I'm in good shape. I'm always on the lookout to see how the shelves are looking, usually empty.
Those odd ball imports caught my eye, never heard of them. Curiosity killed the cat, and it takes a shot at me now & then.

If this PPU brass[Serbia], I got a hold of some in .357 and it has been fine. Probably 3-4 loadings so far. Can't speak of anything other than that.

I have used this brass in 8x57 Mauser a while back. Didn't have any real problem with it. I inheirited
a K-98 Mauser that my uncle "reccointered" in North Africa desert. He was with Patton all the way to Germany during WWII. Sorry, my spelling is off today.

Can’t help you with your brass question but I do see PPU ammo around. Funny, I took this picture a while ago just because I was surprised to see 30-30 in stock.

The reviews I read were for 45/70 brass, no other cal mentioned.
Some said they had to run thru the sizing die several times before it would hold a bullet. So other calibers may not have the issue.
I read enough that I'll stay away. Don't need any now anyway.
