spanj Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Anybody use privi partizan ammo ? I'm specifically interested in the .22 250 but appreciate your comments on other calibres...... looks like I could save a good £30 per 100 if they are OK.

Vince Green Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Its very good ammo, I use nothing else for target shooting at Bisley now. You will have to try it and see if your gun gets on with it. Thats the final deciding point for any combination of rifle and ammo.

Frenchieboy Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 You really need to try a box through your rifle to see how the barrel likes it mate! I used to use PRVI Partizan all the time in a 22-250 when I first started with centre fires, then in a .222 and also in my (current) .243! It was pretty consistent and fairly accurate - And of course near half the price of some other ammunition! Through my .243 it will give me near enough a 1 inch group at 100 yards using 100g Soft Points which is quite acceptable. The only down side to using it in my .243 is that I can only get it in 100g which can be a little "heavy" for foxing so I have swapped to using home loads with 70g Blitz Kings for foxing but I still keep some Partizan 100g to use for deer. When you try some you will almost certainly have to re-zero your rifle but don't worry about that initially, the more important thing is to see what size of group it will shoot through your rifle - There will not be much point in re-zeroing if your rifle doesn't like them and will not offer an acceptable group! Many of the shops around our way are charging between £18.00 - £22.50 per box of "branded" ammunition whereas partizan (In .243) only costs around £11.50 Per box (On average) - Quite a saving so well worth a try - Invest in one box to start with and see how you get on!

Imperfection Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Privi ammo is accurate stuff and the brass is alright for reloading too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Excellent ammo. I've used it for 22-250. 243 & 308 with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scout Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My Howa loves it in 243, and half the proce of other factory loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Privi ammo is accurate stuff and the brass is alright for reloading too. Prvi brass is just about bearable! Consistency is lacking even against Winchester, but with enough prep it can be OK. I use a lot of it because I'm cheap for non-target rounds, and I never like working with it...

nickcass23 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 My Remi 700(.223) loves it 1" groups at 150 yds can't fault it at those prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I'm trying it too - 55grn .223, bought a box today from Valley Arms (Ruthin) . Better than less than half price of 'branded'.223 ammo. I enjoy reloading but if these work, then buying a few will build up my stock of brass for a cheap round.

Dekers Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I am happy with PRVI in my .223, .243 and .308, but there are those who do not get on so well. It's already been said, invest in a box and try it! ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hiya, I used Privi in my CZ .222, and it loved them...hit near everything I shot at... Then sold it, and bought a Remmy 700 SPS in .243, it loves them...when I zeroed the gun it was doing 1"-3/4" groups at 100yds without a bipod, hopefully with a bipod it will be better.. I shoot with a chap from this forum, and his .243 CZ likes them too...and at £80 per 100, cant be bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feds are up to £32 a box depending where you go...:( so, £16 a box for Privi looks good.. Just thought, wonder how much RFD would be...

phaedra1106 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Tried a box of the 168gr .308 Match Ammo in my Steyr SSg-04 and it didn't like it at all, reloading my own gives me much better results and is less than 1/2 the price.

njc110381 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 My old 6.5 loved the FMJ stuff. Shot some of the best groups I could ever manage with that and I only bought it to run the barrel in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
