Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Any experience reloading with PRVI brass?

Just looking for anyone who can comment on the quality of PRVI brass. Looks like I can pick up some PRVI brass relatively inexpensively for my 9.3x62. Just a little worried that I may be "getting what I pay for." Any info on anyone's experience with this will be appreciated.

Shoot Privi brass and ammo in 7x57, 303 British, 9.3x62 and 375 H&H. Excellent brass and annealed unlike most USA brass. Ammo is also excellent and performs like any quality cup and core bullet.

Here's an older thread discussing it.

US made primers are tight.Just be forewarned,other than that,good stuff

I have only used 22 Hornet Brass but I have had no issues. I use Remington six and a half primers.

I use it in 9.3x62. I throw away about 5-8 cases out of a bag but for the price it works just fine for me. I find that some of the case heads are tight in the "shell holder" making it hard to put in and take out. I tend to toss those. That is about the only complaint I have had with them.

I`ve bought and used both 7x57 and 8x57 brass, and bullets. No problems with any of their stuff.

With The 9.3x62 and the 7x57, the Privi Brass is correct. The problem is most folks use a "modern" 30-06 shell holder which is often tight. I use an ancient Pacific 30-06 shell holder that has a bit more "slop" in it that works with the Privi just fine.
One thing that needed correction in the Privi 9.3 and S&B 30-06 is the primer pockets are tight for hard primers, like CCI. Hit the pocket with an old (non VLD) case neck chamfer tool, problem cured. Both Privi and S&B brass and ammo are excellent. Why is it less expensive ? Have no idea, don't really care. It works.

400 rounds of 7mm-08 looked and loaded just fine.

Shot about 65 of them this fall with no issues. Will continue to buy when needed.

Had great experience w/ 243 that's been loaded hot several times; as good as Remchester IMHO.

I will generally try any case's other than steel and aluminum. Some case's are awfully expensive and I don't know about the one's your talking of. But I imagine that all case's in that cartridge will be in the same ball park figure.You are gonna find people that don't like whatever brand of case for one reason or another and other's that do like them. Only real answer for you is if the price is that good, try them.

Glad to hear that. I have a bunch to load up for a Remington 700ADL I just traded for.

I've been using it in several cartridges including 9.3x62 with good results. It's a thicker/heavier case than the Norma 9.3x62 - holds 2-3 grains less powder and I had to reduce my loads developed in Norma cases. I've also necked up PRVI 30-06 brass to 35 Whelen with no issues. Their 22 Hornet cases are much harder/tougher than W-W or R-P and that's all I use in my K-Hornet anymore.

I purchased some Graf's/Hornady 6.5X54 MS ammo. First factory ammo I bought in 20+ years. It was $27.99 a box and I was paying $25 for 20 Norma cases. I assumed it was Hornady but is head stamped PPU. I hope it's decent brass.

I have had no problems with 8x57 243 708 brass so far so good.

Bought some 22.250 brass from Graff this year when it was on sale. Only negative comment I can make, a fair amount of brass was removed when I reamed the primer pocket. The flash hole on the other hand had hardly any burr to it. All in all, I'm happy with it.

I haven't had problems with it. I'm about to buy a bunch of the pre-primed 6.5x54ms from Graf's.
