"out of stock". Seems I've read something somewhere it's Czech. Good question on how many loads. I would be curious to see that question opened up among the various types of brass.

The ammo is pretty accurate. I have used it several times in various guns and find to be a bit more accurate than S&B, and with nicer, not so hard brass. I have not reloaded swede or 8mm myself yet, but I know a few guys who load the 8mm PPU brass and have loaded it 6 or more times with no issues. They do load NATO contract 7.62X51 and 5.56 ammo, and I have shot a lot of it in M14s also with great luck. I have loaded that(308) brass a time or two and it works well and sizes nice.

I had these loaded up and tested for pressure commercially to be sure. The loads for 6.5X55 are coming to the tester next. Should be giving about 2700-2800FPS with 140 Berger bullet, and in the 43K Cup range. Forgot to add, the brass that Grafs sells for obsolete calibers is Privi I am pretty sure.

No question on that. They advertize it as Prvi with Prvi headstamp. But why are they out of stock on everything for Swedes. Surely, the Swede is not bellied up. It's far more popular than lots of other brass that is still available. "The nature of your faith is wrapped in the object of your faith" David Jeremiah

I am calling Graf's right now to see if I can get them to order a bunch, how much does anybody want if I can get it.

Website address for Grafs, please, and any others you can recommend? Obsolete calibers a plus; my friend has a 30-40 Krag, I have an 1887 Swedish Nagant pistol, and other early cartidges interest me. Also sites with good reloading data for various powders/components would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also his cartridge page. Alliant, IMR, Hodgedons and Winchester also have data pages. The Bird Can Only Soar If The Sky Has No Bounds.

I bought some, both 139 grain FMJ and lead nose, and the quality control is not good. I measured some as low as .263 in size, and weight varied 1.0-1.5 grains. I am not sure how much this will affect accuracy, as I haven't shot much of it yet. The size difference does cause some of the bullets to be not as tight in the case when loading as I like them to be, so if you are picky about consistency, you may need to crimp your Privi loads. Other manufacturers product I have is considerably more consistent in size and weight. Long live the Swedish Mauser!!

I did it mostly so I could reload the brass with my own loads, but it was a lot of fun to perforate paper at 100yds with open sights while guys around me had trouble doing the same with scopes. Just have to aim about 9 inches low to be on paper at 100.

I am either going to buy new, unfired brass or this ammo and use the brass. The ammo is $12.50 per box of 20, so 100 rounds will be $125.00, where the brass alone will be arounf $67.00 per 100 pieces.
