Its PPU, the Cyrillic looks like nny, Privi Partizan, good stuff and can be reloaded.



Look up nny:

Wonder how they got rights to the name.  Years ago Monarch was a brand of .22 ammo made by Federal.

To the best of my knowledge, Monarch is a private label for ammo sold by Academy stores in the southern states, I've never heard of anyone else selling it.  Most of it is lacquered steel case ammo, but Monarch Gold is brass cased made by Privi Partizan, most of that Privi ammo is pretty good.

The Federal 22 was Monark.

I noticed this last go round that PPU cases were harder to size than LC cases.  I don't know if that is a first time only deal.

I've reload it with no problems and plan to reload some more.

I've tried it in .308, shot poorly and had pressure problems very early compared to other once fired brass.
