I've been pretty happy with a large variety of PPU ammo in a large variety of guns. But can't comment on using it in an SKS

It's premium brass-case boxer-primed ammo at a good price. But Wolf is good enough too.

South African, brass-cased? I still have several of those plywood crates full of the stuff

The only REAL issue I have ever seen with OOB "slam-fires" in an SKS (a total of two incidents) involved; 1) a cosmo soaked rifle that hadn't been cleaned thoroughly and 2) an EXTREMELY dirty SKS that had mud, rust and other crud in the FP channel.

This in 35 years of being a shooter and range safety officer.
