I use ppu brass cases for reloading in my different foriegn military rifles and Im happy with the product.

Im looking at the ppu m855 ammo and would like to know anything about this ammo before I'ld buy it.

Thanks,

In context to the actual ammo itself.... It is GTG....I would rate it as up in the upper part of the list as far as "M855" goes.


Reloading the spent cases....I have read  ( every once in a while ) that sometimes the 5.56 primers can be a PITA to remove... because of the sealant ?! .  I don't own any PPU worth mentioning... so I can not attest to the accuracy of those reports.

Other wise... check Google, most reports were positive.

.. I would suggest you double check the internal capacity prior to going to hog wild.

I haven't tried Prvi's 855 but I love their 193. Love it. My rifles love it. I have laid in a good supply.

I see that SGAmmo has a very good price on PPU 855. Might have to get a case.

And yes, the red primer sealant they use is.. liberally applied. After a couple of hundred rounds of their 193 my bolt face has a lipstick looking ring around the firing pin. Comes right off with Hoppes or CLP.

My experience with depriming PPU cases is that sometimes the cup deforms before it moves, requiring extra effort to get the primer out of the case.  Not "hard" effort, really, but I need the depriming pin to go a little farther through pocket to get the primers out.  I think it's related to the shape and hardness of their anvils, but that's just conjecture.  The brass itself seems to be good stuff.
