PPU new brass?

[rightway1974]

Has anyone seen PPU offer new brass for reloading? I saw a add listing some for sale on another site.

I think I have seen it at Grafs.com.

I have never seen it advertised for sale. I received a email listing it and wanted t be certain before I make a purchase.

I've seen it. Good for old mil calibers like the 7.5 jap. 8 Mauser and 54r. It was common pre covid

My experience with it has been limited to a box of 7mm-08 that I used and reloaded several times, and range pickup 5.56. It has worked as well as most any other brass. I usually load them four or five times after the original factory load has been fired. The primer pockets getting loose and neck tension starting to be non existent—I do not anneal—are the alerts that I use to throw them away.

I do anneal but my experience has been similar. The pockets start getting loose in 4ish firings. Still the best deal on reloadable 54r

I have some PPU 54r cases that have 28-30 firings on them. These are lower velocity lead bullets (gas checked) and I anneal the necks every other firing.

But...the fireballs...
