Was given to me by a friend...Boxer primed...just different...Israeli maybe?

Attached are a couple pics.

Ah -- I would have read that headstamp right-to-left as Hebrew ayin-chet-tav. Reading it left-to-right I see that it's Cyrillic PPU. I note from that headstamp codes site that they have a factory in Uzice, so maybe that stands for Prvi Partizan Uzice?

I have used a lot of it for obscure calibers & reforming for even more obscure calibers - just try to find 8x50R Austrian these days!!!

At any rate, it is decent stuff. I have found some lots to have undersized and/or shallow primer pockets, but they are easily reamed out & you only have to do it once.

I have several hundred rounds of it in .44 magnum I have been using for several years. It seems to be very good brass. I have not had a problem with it. I don't remember the brand of ammunition that was on the boxes it came in.

It may have prvi partisan as they do offer loaded ammo. Availability is sporadic of both the ammo and brass.
