[TraderDan]

Just picked up some russian PPU .223 ay wally today and wonderin if it is any good, it is brass and looks great. I always thought it was steel and paid no attention to it.

I think its serbian? At least according to the boxes of 9MM I have.

Privy is Serbian and supposed to be pretty good stuff.

I believe PPU also make Academy's Monarch ammo too.

Fired some of this stuff the other week - and I'm not a gun person, but I swear all the brass I picked up was 'nicked' on some of the edges where the bullet was once seated. Thought it was odd at the time because all the Federal and Winchester my M&P has eaten comes out with clean edged brass. Other than that, it'll all went bang when required.

I believe that the steel monarch is from Barnaul, not sure about the brass cased stuff.

Well my dixlexica read Serbia as Siberia, my bad. Good to hear as it cost as much as the rem when you can find it.

Privi Privitsan in Serbia is quite good. They are actually a supplier for Hornady these days, making much of Hornady's com-bloc offerings. I picked up a few boxes of Privi 100 gr 25-06 this fall and it has been consistently giving me 0.4-0.75 inch groups at 100. Not bad for $9 a box.

I meant their brass cased.

May I ask how much was the PPU per box?
