Any one have any experience with this stuff?

Aim Surplus is selling Prvi Partizan PPU 193 in 200rnd battle packs right now, but I have never used the stuff.

GTG... typical M193 type ammo. A google search will tell you more then you ever needed. Quite popular.


but all sold out now.

I shoot it and find it quite reliable.  Recently purchased 400 rounds at .30 per round on Gunbroker and I believe there is plenty more available.

AIM Surplus is a good company and PPU is good ammo.   That being said, I think $80 for 200 rounds is too much.  Just my 2 cents.

The individual boxes are sold out, but the battle packs are still showing in stock. It's an extra $14.50 for the battle pack, don't know if it is worth it.

PPU in general is good ammo, although I have a couple of rifles that are spotty with their M855 for some reason.  Their M193 works good, though.  I have not pulled a bullet myself but I've seen pics where somebody did and the jacket is visibly different from normal M193.  So, maybe it doesn't fragment as well.  Perfectly good range ammo, though.

I've shot several thousand rounds of it.  Perfectly good stuff.  Much of it will hold close to 1 moa to 200 yards with a flier or two which could be the ammo or could be me.

It's my favorite range / plinking ammo. As accurate as LC XM193 from my rifles and less expensive. Look around and you can frequently find it priced a little less than Wolf Gold. I won't pay more than $70 for the battle packs. I've seen them back at near that price lately.

Don't be startled, like I was, when your bolt face looks like it's wearing lipstick after a couple of hundred rounds. That red primer sealant..  lol

It's a very consistent and affordable practice target ammo

I'm not going to lie, it's pretty satisfying feeling to cut into a bag of ammo. I had good luck a bag of prvi m855 trying out my new build.

Great ammunition.  The rubber bags are great for a bug out stash...
So if Privi is manufacturing for Wolf Gold....I wonder....

This mentioned PPU is under the "Ammunition Store" header. And is still available.

The PMC Bronze and X-Tac are both made in Taiwan and they are both great.

PMC is manufactured in ROK, or South Korea. The Wolf Gold is manufactured in Taiwan. For range/plinking ammo, all are satisfactory.

The 75gr Wolf Gold is PPU.


Academy house brand Monarch (brass not steel) is PPU 55 gr.

Good ammo. Reliable and performs. The brass is good, but the crimp is huge. I quit reloading PPU XM193 brass because of the crimp.

I failed Geography...LOL  Still good ammunition,

I've used PPU M193 in my SP1. No issues whatsoever.

It's on the lower side of M193 velocity wise.  I'd choose XM193, IMI M193 or, Xtac 193 over it.
