I decided to try Prvi Partizan .308 168 gr. Match bullets, together with their brass.
My take...No difference in results when compared to Sierra Match bullets but at a lower price. You might wish to work up a load and see if they work for you. If they work for you, great. If not, a nice experiment... But they did work for me.

Well,,I got them some time ago, but I purchased at Graf & Sons.
I checked the price today.
Prvi Match .308. $30.00 per 100. (2 x 50 in a pack)
Sierra Matchking .308 $39.00 per hundred.
I rounded the price up a few cents on both.

The PPU soft points I have tried worked well. It is almost like they copied the old Remington Core locks which is a good thing. The points were not very uniform but that didn't seem to affect accuracy.
I have not used them but they also have a mono metal bullet called the Thunder or "Grom" bullet.
The brass is like Lake City in thickness and maybe even tougher, I call it the poor boys Lapua.
One batch in 25-06 I had a heck of a time with the primer pockets. I got the Lyman tool that bevels and uniforms simultaneously, the type tool that can grind off crimped pockets and then had no further problems.

Prvi has been making ammunition longer than Remington, so Remington might have copied them.  I don't know how long they have been imported into the US, but the ammunition is better known in other parts of the world. I believe that they have 3 plants. Given the history of the region, they have had a lot of experience.
