    If you look at the last line on the far left box it seems to state "PPU".

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The PPU stands for PRVI PARTISAN. Looks just like the packaging my Prvi .223 ammo came in.

    Those are 100% Prvi (PPU) labels.

    Stickhauler; Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, there's no brass like mil brass, that's for sure.

    No, but given the choice of buying Privi brass cased ammo for $0.60 a round (or more) I'd sink the money into USGI issue ammo, preferably Lake City brass ammo.

    It's up to $0.76 a round now? Hell, I'm finding Remington PMC at around $22.00 for 50 rounds, that's $0.44 a round.

    Sadly, a good part of the military brass ammo I have I bought to keep, not shoot. I found a full bandolier of 1954 Lake City around a year ago priced right, I'll never shoot it because it's as old as I am. I found one of 1972 Lake City that I'll never shoot either, it was made the year I graduated from high school. But I was lucky enough to find a few 10 round stripper clips of loose ammo I bought up to use, so it's all good. If that ammo was priced right, I'd consider it though, the .223 I have by that maker is pretty decent ammo.
