Sellier and Bellot ammo vs privi partizan

[Alan de Enfield]

Are you talking ammunition or bullets alone ?

You'll be lucky to get 2 reloads (3 firings) out of S&B. Its the thinnest brass in the world.

Prvi brass tends to be around 0.060" / 0.062" rim thickness whilst S&B is nearer 0.056" (that'll increase your effective headspace by 4 thou, add to the thin walls and you'll be splitting cases faster than you can reload them.

That is my experience too! The PRVI over here is cheaper than the S&B and you can use their cases a long time. I use a combination of the PRVI cases and the 180grs S&B BT bullets with great success.
