I have used it to shoot paper . Seen Ammo usually at gun shows- so it might have been old stock

 Then I liked the brass to reload the 6.5x55. The primer holes were drilled instead of punched and too , Got good brass life from my reloads .

no complaints from me....and haven't really heard of any. Most of it is said to be very well made, clean, and accurate.

Wanted to try their FMJ and SP loads in 375 H&H, but the reviews on MidwayUSA told of problems chambering the rounds. To bad as the cost is more than reasonable compared to domestic ammo in that caliber.

Most of their stuff is good - I've used it in 308, 8x57, 38Special, and 357 magnum - all good. I know people that have used the 6.5x55 and are happy with that. I use their 198gn FMJs in 8mm and they are very accurate.

I've had problems with 375H&H too - the headspace on two of twenty cases was too long and I couldn't chamber them. There's no easy headspace fix on a belted case - you could file the face of the case head but then you'd have to make the promer pockets deeper and that would leave a thinner section through the flashole - I wouldn't be keen on doing this. The brass is otherwise good - it's OAL is fairly short and it took 15+ reloads before it grew to the right length.

  Biggest complain i hear about this brand of ammo is, the brass isn't very good quality for reloading, as it doesn't last long.

  Second complaint i hear is, the bullets are on the soft side for tough shots.

My son just used Prvi ammo this weekend on a whitetail hunt. He is shooting a sporterized 1891 Argentine in 7.65x53. He was shooting 180 gr. SP and hit a doe at 140 yards through the boiler room. Entry was textbook, exit was about the size of a half dollar, heart and lungs were pretty well mush. DRT, so can't complain. Accuracy has been great, especially for the price.

The only caliber that I have had accuracy problems with is .22 Hornet. They just didn't seem to want to group as well as premium ammo. Still did not do too bad.

I have reloaded a bunch of Prvi cases and I think they are really good cases. I have shot some 7.62X54 R cases over 10 times and they still are going strong.

  I've heard just the opposite, several times from guys reloading 9.3x74R cases...

Mixed results, they must use different factories for different cartridges, some not as good as others obviously.

I shot a lot of their 9,3X62 ammo as just for fun or practice fodder. I found it was excellent when I got serious and shot for groups. Their bullet was just fine at the 9,3X62's lower velocities and is highly accurate. I bought 100 for re-loading as a result.


BTW...my first post here... HELLO TO ALL  ;)

I've used their 198gn FMJ BT projectiles in 8mm. These shoot very accurately (designed for target use only) and cost 40% of the price of the Sierra and Speer 150gn projectiles that I normally use.

Alas, minimum quantities for order are 10,000 now. 8mm is not popular down here. Oh well I still have 400 left.
