I never heard of the stuff. I snagged 5 boxes of 7x57 Mauser for a good price. Seems it's made in Australia according to Grafs and ain't cheap. Brass is PPU and the bullet is a 120 gr. all copper like the Barnes. Has anybody used it" Grafs was short on info and couldn't find an advertised speed or other pertinent data. They talk a good game but sparse on data. Grafs has them on sale for $9.95 a box of ten Ten? yeah, ten. Normal price is 29.95 for that box of ten. Thing is if it's all that good I might spring for another 100 rounds.Bullet is all copper and have what appears to be skiving down the sides to aid expansion, three skives equally around the bullet. Hey! I don't know what else to call 'em OK? I got that ammo plus a box of 156 gr. Norma Oryx for $40 and that included shipping. I can always just use the brass. Tried the PPU in a RCBS #3 shellholder and it worked just fine, Paul B.

PPU seems to be good stuff

From what I can fine the ammo is made in Australia using PPU brass and a monometal bullet of their design. I'm trying to find out if it's any good or not. Paul B.
