Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Quality of Prvi Partizan brass?

I'm trying to get my hands on 30-30 brass and all I've found online is PP brass in stock at Grafs. What are your opinions of the Serbs' brass?

It doesn't need to be benchrest quality, but I'd like brass that is capable of fine hunting accuracy from a scoped gun, and that is good enough metal that I can reload many times.

Or a second question? Who has some matching headstamp 30-30 brass they will sell for some holiday cash?

I've been reloading it for several years for different 9,3X62 rifles and have found it is pretty uniform. Since I load for various 9,3s, I full length re-size. The most times fired so far are four; there are no signs any problems yet.

The loads are just under maximum using 286gr Previ bullets and 250gr AccuBonds.

Since both rifles were accurate shooting all along, all I can say is accuracy didn't fall off using Previ brass.

Ive been using prvi loaded ammo and the resulting brass in my 300 win mag. I don't think theres anything wrong with it at all. My

My hunting partner is using it in his 270 and it shoots quite well. (loaded ammo)

In a 30 30 why does it need to be matching? Weight means more than headstamp anyway. I will send 28 pcs of 1x fired WW & RP if you want it. Just PM me an address

I have 500 pieces of once fired 30/30 brass. one box of brand new, $30 a 100, plus shipping. Can put 300 in a medium flat rate box from the PO, and shipping would be $12.50. Can provide winchester or R-P, or mixed. send a PM if interested. This is all once fired, sized, deprimed, and cleaned.

The NIB brass would be $25 for the 50, the rest is $15 for 50 and $30 a 100.

In the cartridges I've used it for there have been no problems. Sometimes the primer pockets may be a little tight but better than the other way.

I've had a very good run with it in 7x57R and .303. Good quality stuff, and very good value.

I've had no issues with Prvi, it's not Lapua or RWS. Seems to work fine and lasts many reloadings.

I've had pretty good luck with Prvi Partisan .308 Win brass.

I was not impressed with their 10mm...

First firing? Ammonia contamination? Just bad brass?

first time fired, and it happened from two different G20s, a third gen. and a fourth gen.

I'm guessing just a bad batch of brass, but no harm to either gun

Don't like seeing that.

Yikes, toad! That split way, way down there! Was that loaded ammo you got, or just brass? Seems like a brittle batch.

I had some Starline brass do the same thing, talked to Starline and they thought it was my load. 38 Special wadcutter for a S&W Model 52, 2.7g Bullseye and a 148g HBWC. Detonation with a small load of fast burning powder. Moved the Starline to another pistol and load.

Smithrjd, that doesn't seem logical to me with that load, but I don't know everything there is to know about brass. I've seen 38's split, but that was because of 357-level pressure using a stiff charge of blue dot, and shot out of a 357, in old cases.

I bought a big bad of nickel plated 38's at a gun show a few years ago that contained some S&W brass that was hell for stout. I asked some people about them and was told that they were old target load cases.

I wonder if there is a funky pressure spike with with those wadcutters? I'm interested to hear others' perspective on your cases. Starline is some of the best brass I've ever used.

I was very surprised. New first time brass. That was what Starline told me. They did send me replacement cases. Have not have that happen with other brass. In fact The 52 now gets Federal only, reloaded several times.

I'm glad they replaced it. Seems to be a good company. Also seems like some Friday afternoon defects made it out the door.

2.7g Bullseye is a standard wadcutter load, been around for years. I could see a detonation issue, perhaps the powder went up into the Hollow Base. Just odd, I had about 14 out of the 50 that cracked. I have used the remaining brass in other loads with more powder in a S&W 60 and a Colt trooper. No issues.

this was loaded Prvi ammo that was just a few weeks old. I had one or two out of each box of 50 split like this.
