Anyone shooting this ammo? Opinion's?

I cannot comment on that particular calibre Eddie, but people i know using ppu in .303 british are very happy with it. It seems to be a good brand, allowing people to shoot rounds that would otherwise be difficult to find.

I can't comment on the 6.5 but my Swiss K31 with open sights has put 5 of their 7.5s in 1.06 inches at 100. Good stuff.

Just curious as it's very inexpensive here in the U.S.

I've shot a bunch of it and my son killed a deer with my M-S 1903 shooting the Privi ammo. It is inexpensive but shoots well with my rifle. Others have had issues with feeding from the magazine since the rounds are slightly shorter than spec. Mine feeds ok as long as the bolt is worked smartly. Heck, it's worth it just for the brass. Privi brass seems to be excellent quality. Don't buy it all, leave some for me.

Guess I'll buy some.Going to use it on Whitetail's also.

I know someone with a german single shot in 7x57r. The ppu is really the only round he can get. Ppu are clever in that they keep the original bullet weights and ballistics, so in older iron sighted guns they still shoot where you are aiming. Have a look at sellier and belliot too.
