I found it to be very under powered compaired To other factory ammo.

 

Maybe they deliberately under load it, knowing Americans are notorious for suing. I think todays ammunition, regardless of brand, is somewhat anemic to ammunition made years ago. But that's just my opinion.

 

Thanks for the heads up...!

 

I've used 5 boxes of it in 45-70, and found it to be reasonably accurate (under 2" at 100 yds) in any of my Marlins and my Pedersoli Sharps. Guess maybe the 30-30 stuff isn't as good as the 45-70 stuff. Guess I'll stay away from it for my 30-30. Thanks for the report.

 

I have used there loaded ammo in 7x57 and 303 British and it was very good. I have also bought there brass in 303 Savage and 8 X 50 Lebel and it lasts forever and is good as any I have used, I like there primers also.

I just bought a box of those shells from Academy 150 grain.

$13.99 Monarch is the name.

Will shoot them along with the Rem. core-lokt 150 grain.

I've been wondering about their .308's.
Has anybody tried them?

 

I've found that PPU .30-30 cannot be used in my Henry H009, as the cases stick and have to be hammered out with a rod. I've been able to fire them in a Marlin 336, but even then the cases are sticky and hard to eject.

I've used PPU ammo in other calibers, .223, 9mm, .40, .38 special, all without any issues. I stay away from the .30-30, though.

 

I had no trouble with ejection, some did catch when levering them in. Reminds me of the budget Korean made ammo I used back in the 80s.

 

I have read on the interwebz that Privi brass is a bit on the soft side which accounts for the swelling and sticking. I just wait until I fing good old Core-lokt or the like at reduced prices somewhere. The last time was 200 rounds at a local pawn shop- 170 grain SP's for $12 a box out the door.

 

The ammo and brass are very good in .303 British. Privi is my preferred brass for reloading 303 . For some reason they did not work as well for fireforming 30-30 Ackley. I'm not sure if they were too hard for that much of a stretch but I had a few damaged cases.

 

they cost what they are worth. imho.
I believe there is a reduced presence of copper, which is the most expensive component, in the alloy with which the cases are made.

 

...by increasing the percentage of zinc at the expense of copper, it is evidently possible to produce brass at a lower cost than premium brands, but cases become harder...

 

I have used their loaded ammo in 9.3x62 on both deer and wild hogs. Did an admirable job on both. Their brass reloads easily and lasts quite a few reloads. As for speed it is significantly below advertised.

 

I bought a bunch of it in 30-30. Lots of jammed rounds. As someone else said, had to pound some out. Got rid of it all.

There's threads on this here somewhere.

 

I’ve put over 100 rounds of it through my 243. No complaints whatsoever.

 

After 10 rounds of this ammo I had extremely hard extraction issues! Never experienced before. Marlin 336. Quite possibly a dirty chamber but I’m not willing to risk it again for the minimal savings. I’m stay with stateside ammo.
