Prvi Partizan Brass -- any good? - SDW - 10-29-2023
Anyone have anything to say, good or bad, about Prvi Partizan 6.5G brass?
Prvi Partizan Brass -- any good? - Zeneffect - 10-29-2023
I dont like it. The few pieces I still have look too much like lapua and I get it mixed in sometimes. That's the only reason and it's a dumb one.
Feels heavier than hornady, is harder to work, and lights up like a Christmas tree when induction annealing compared to lapua, starline, or hornady.
What that means to you is what you make of it. I didn't find flash holes to be particularly bad, and I've never shot any to failure. The brass material is quite different to everyone else though, unsure if that's in a good or bad way... just different.

There are better options. Starline is good stuff and affordable.

Thanks guys for the warnings. Midway has it in stock right now so I thought I'd ask. Hornady is slightly better priced there, but it's not in stock at the moment.
I don't really need any new brass right now. Have a comfortable amount Starline and Hornady (both new and once or twice fired). I was just wondering if PP was something worth grabbing. Sounds like I can pass on it and keep my money.
BTW, I'm nowhere near advanced enough to get into annealing brass. Maybe someday.

Hard to beat BFTs price for Starline 6.5 Grendel brass ($58 per 100).

Thank you! I hadn't checked there lately. Good price. Great idea. I will hit that up.
As for the PPU brass, I might get some, not Grendel but in .303BR. For whatever reason, it's well regarded among .303 reloaders anyway. I was just reading that. And Midway has a good price right now.

The newer Small Rifle Primer PPU brass is at least great for sacrificial brass you dont care about losing on a hunt or in the field.
I dont know how many loads its good for since I only load Hornady and Lapua.

Thanks. I'll stick with Hornady and Starline I guess. I do have some Federal, left over from factory ammo I got awhile back. Maybe just 50 or 100 of them. I've read that Federal brass is so rare that some believe it never existed.
I'll get some of BFT's Starline for now. Equates to $29/50-ct, which is much cheaper than Midway, Graffs, etc. right now.

Beats nothing. I'm on my 3rd loading on some of mine.

I bought a couple of bags (100/ct) from SixFive last week also. I think he's actually the best value at the moment for Starline. Druid's pretty close though. Good to keep in mind. Thanks Cav!
That'll be my brass buying for the next couple of years I think. I have a bunch now, plus some loaded ammo I need to "empty".
