Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters PRVI bullet performance ??

So, ya'll like them Prvi bullets?

Those Serbs, Bosnians, and such have been killing one another for over a thousand years. I guess they know a thing or two about making bullets.

Still laughing!!

You're so right. How in the world did we ever kill anything with cup-n-core bullets from non-magnum rifles wearing Weaver K-2.5 scopes without aid of trail cams, battle camo, spotting scopes, scent killers, GPS, and baited food plots?

Somehow we managed, but I don't know how...

I'm waiting for the appearance of the first targeting computer rifle scope, like the ones in the sci-fi movies.

Later, when Joe and Bill return to their hunting camp, they select their meal from the automated galley and sit down with an ice cold beer in their Laz-Y-Boys.

"What a tough day! I must have traveled four or five miles on that darn ATV. Thank goodness I was wearing my Bob Alan Auto adjusting Air Cooler Camo suit with the auto inflating seat cushion! It was humid and bumpy on that dirt road! Can you imagine actually walking?"

"My finger is worn to a nub pressing all those buttons on the targeting scope. AND I had to haul out the ATV Recoilless Gun Mount and lock it to the front rack. Honestly, you'd think the dealer would have done that for me!"

"Thank goodness Knosler came out with their newest innovation just in time for the deer hunt. For $299.99 for 25, you can get guided bullets with Auto-Steer Acoustic and Data Linking Technology*."

"They say you spend a lot of money on a hunt, so you shouldn't cheap out on the bullets. It's Knosler Auto-Steers or nothing for me now! Years ago, they actually hunted with something called a cup and core bullet. I don't know whether to believe the old timers or not, but they told me companies put lead cores into copper jackets! That's gotta be BS. How would the bullet know what to hit?"

"Anyway, it's time for me to hit the sack. I'm exhausted. I'm looking forward to crawling into my Vibro-Matic water bed with CCC (computer climate control) selectable sleeping circuitry. It was a good investment. I almost didn't buy it. This is only a 32 ft trailer. I was worried things might be a little tight with two guys, but I got the Vibro-Matic anyway. Seriously though, there has to be an easier way!"

And just what does THAT have to do with PRVI bullets??

huh?

Pretty good!

I've used the Wolf Gold, which is just Prvi in a different box, 7.5x55 Swiss 174 gr SP and it kills deer as cleanly as anything else.

Not the Swede, but have a Bud over in Arkansas that's been killing the crap outta deer and hogs with factory loaded PRVI 7mm mag ammo for several years now.

Cant remember him having ANY issues with bullet performance.

Gunner

Can't you read? Previ bullets are obsolete. If they're obsolete they won't work.

I don't see how he could have made it any clearer.







I like them for medium velocity ammo.

It musta been covered up in all that BULL....!

Gunner 500 -

Thanx & Germane.

In the op I said it could be cals other than the Swede.

I sooo sowwy...



Now all kidding aside. I recently got some 139gr Previ 6.5mm bullets to shoot in a 6.5X57R drilling and 243 100gr bullets for an older Mdl 70FW 243. I have loaded some and got good accuracy with both.

The local coyotes aren't cooperating, or I would have a report on bullet performance. I might have a report after this weekend. I'm headed into a central NV area in a couple of days with scads of coyotes.

jwall,

Are you going to be doing any hand loading for the Swede? I gathered from your initial post you had some Previ factory ammo.

If you would like to try some bullets out I can send you 20 or so to load and experiment with.

L 2 S -

Yes I load for it, I have 129 HSP, 139-140 H, Prvi, & somebody's 160s. Probably won't use the 160s.

These 2 boxes of PRVI came in the rifle deal. Was not familiar w/Prvi ammo or bullets.

Also have 1 box of Win 140 SP factory, (Hornady bullets).

THNX for the offer. I appreciate it but I'd guess I'm good there.

10-4 JWall, that tells me they must be at the very least a descent bullet to stand up to 7Mag speeds and still blow through 3/4 hundred pound hogs.

Gunner

Wow, so serious! We're mostly loonies here. I just registered, but have lurked for some years, so I know that is the case. Seems to me that we loonies must buy and try anyway, regardless of what others think.

I have never shot Prvi, but wanted to chime in just because. I've only shot cup/cores at big game, and only seen big game killed with c/c. Never bought into the hype of premiums, mostly because I wince at the prices they ask, but I do buy the hype of cup and cores.

Thus I predict with near certainty that Prvi bullets have killed, will keep killing cheaply and accurately.

i have not shot any critters with them but have shot many targets with their 7-08 Rem loads. very accurate out of my Savage Striker and my son's A-Bolt in that caliber but does run a tad on the dirty side. that being said i wouldn't hesitate to use them on game if and when the oppertunity arrises.

jwall, don't know about the PRVI, but there are a few guys up here who shoot 160s and 154s in their 6.5 rifles, and do very well with them on big game. If the concern is the bullet profile, and lower velocity, they easily give reliable 300 yd accuracy and performance on big game out of their 6.5X55 and 6.5X54 rifles.

Thnx, I might re consider. They seem to be limited in vel. due to limited powder capacity.

FYI, for those that haven't noticed. Monarch ammo from Academy is Privi, just boxed for Academy.

Oh, I've shot a truck load of Privi, seems like a good cup&core to me.

I've used 6.5x55, .223, .243, 7-08, .308 and .357 mag. Killed critters with all but the 6.5x55.

The 158gr. soft points in .357 mag from my 77/.357 Ruger turns 'dillars into mush in a shell ev'ry time.
