PPU ammo brand
« on: August 16, 2024, 03:31:23 PM »
What do you 308  shooters think of PPU brand ammo? I have never used it. Thanks! I see there's a ammo plant in US.

Prvi Partizan (PPU) is a Serbian company that manufactures ammunition and handloading components in U?ice, Serbia, which is about 200 kilometers from the capital, Belgrade. PPU produces ammunition for both civilian and military consumers in a variety of calibers and loadings.

I've used it in the past, and didn't have any issues.  It makes great range ammo.

The .357 magnum ammo, and 7.62 TOK was always good to go in the past. They offer a lot of flavors and have been around for some time. I would definitely use it.

I use PPU in my 1911s, my M1917, my M1-carbine, my New model Blackhawk, my M-57, my 357 target revolver, my Bersa Thunder, my M1911 Schmidt-Rubin, and my #1 MK 4. The only one I don't use it in is my Serbian SKS...that likes Igman better. My Hi power likes Sellier & Bellot.

Perfectly serviceable ammo.

Privi partisan ammo, I have ran quite a bit of it in 223, decent clean range ammo,  they make some decent match ammo for the money too.

I've used Prvi Partisan 168GR MATCH in my Savage Model 10 and it groups like Federal Gold Metal for me. It's quality ammo.

Prvi ammo is known to shoot slower than most other commercial standard ammo types in .308, the accuracy isn't as good as federal either. But it goes bang every time and costs less.

I ran out of my 7.62x51 match ammo before Camp Perry, and the only 7.62 Match ammo I could get quickly was that made by PPU.  It shot really well.  I won high Senior in the McKee match
