Great ammo, period ! The only issue is that in reloading it (at least 308, 7.5 Swiss, 6.5x55, 7x57 and 30-06) The primer pockets as so tight they need to be chamfered for the first reload.
My experience with it has been very good .I have an 8x57JS Mauser and it will put 3 of the 196 grain softpoints into less than an inch at 100 yards. I also killed a Buck whitetail buck with it this past season . Posted in the ask the gunwriters forum on about 11/09/10. I also use the brass for reloading with 150 grain Sierras and H-4895 and ammo produced is accurate as well with 3 shot groups at a hundred of less than 1-1/2. Reasonably priced,accurate,performs well on deer.
I tried some of their .223 Rem 55 gr SP ammo, and I had pieeced primers in 4 out of the 20 cartridges. One of them, I was unable to deprime the case, so I lost that one. The brass seems nice, the factory accuracy was only so so in my 1 n 12" twist bolt guns. I have had much better results in my .223's with Fiocchi factory ammo for just a little more money.
i have shot the 7-08 through my rifle and my savage stryker. accurate ammo but it has been my experiance that it is a touch dirtier than say fed or win ammo. but i don't mind that hen it groups as well as it does.
I shot some 8mm x 57 JS when I had a 8mm Sporter, those 196 gr bullets shot well out of that rifle, for the short time I owned it. Worked great on the deer I shot with it too, and I would bet coin it would work well on Elk and Moose too. Just because something is inexpensive dose not make it cheap or no good. Its a good value, for a lot of applications. This coming fall I will be shooting 7 x 57 loads, since I have run out of the ammo I had and being not employed steady, that may change, Priv Partizan makes perfect sense.

I've been reloading the same batch of 6.5x55's since they came from a place called Yugoslavia! I'm losing a few now to split neck attrition, so I'm due for another batch I think.
I don't think smokeless POWDER is corrosive, its the primers I thought.
