Anybody have any experience of this in .223 or .308?

Fingal sports are selling it for a very reasonable price.

Yep.... its great stuff... ive used there match (but of a lower bullet weight) some time ago and it was very accurate and subsonic for use in my suppressor.

The .223 hes is runing low on as I contacted him last week about it. Ill also be collecting the remaining .308 he has tomorrow

i have tried the 168gr SP on deer and found it good. i have a box of 168gr match that i bought ages ago now but i havent tried it yet. but now that the season is over i will have time to test them properly.

i am anxious to try the 55gr SP .223 to see how it goes

i dont mean to question you but they were hardly subsonic were they. that would be very unusual

Ballisticly i couldnt tell you what FPS they are running.... and perhaps subsonic is the wrong choice of word to use but I was using a lighter round and found that the suppressor bearly muzzled the blast. After getting the 168s it was completely different. Pulling the trigger you could hear the "ding" of a steel plate at 100 or so meters and then hear the action recock itself.

Great news, I used to shoot this in Australia, quality stuff. As cheap as reloading. 10 euro a box there.

I expect ammo prices to drop here.

Feidhlim Dignan

does anyone know if that 55gr soft point would be any good for foxes. at 11 euro a box it would be a good deal.

also would i do the job on a few goats

I use their .303 ammo, works for me, and has a good reputation.

Guys just wondering is anyone using Privi amo in 308 for hunting, I see they have a 150g SP for €17 a box of 20. Just wondering is it any good? say out to 300 yards. I hope to have the licence through for the 308 this week or next and was thinking the Privi might be a cheep bullet for targets and foxes during the summer while getting used to the gun. Open to other suggestions for 308.
On hearing Tack and Paulo talk about them, I will be trying the Hornady Super's sst for the deer next season, but looking for something cheep till then that still works well.

We chrono'd some yesterday, along with ST's and .223 stuff.

Paul has the sheet of paper with the data on it so he will post later.

It did ok on Standard deviation as I remember

i was jus up the hill testing the superformance 150gr sst. and got great results with the SD coming back at 5.4. and an average speed of 2867 fps out of my 22" barrel

i also tested the 168 gr match by privi partazan and they came back with an average speed of 2377 and an SD of 20.6 not to bad for cheep ammo but there is better out there

while chronograph was set up i was plinking a steel target at 550y.
obviously the hornady printed better but i was still able to get on targrt with the privi stuff and was able to group them but had an odd flyer

4gun

I got a few of these form Poulo and although they were accurate enough I found it took a lot more force to lock down the bolt of my mauser action CS550
It muy have been the head space that was different but not willing to risk it in my gun

crackcrack30

Anyone using the .243? thoughts?

OnTheGame

Mauser .308, just intersted as to what model you chose..? i really like the stutzen. all are reaaly nice guns

SAKO_FTR

Zeroed the rifle with it at 100mtrs
3 shot grouping less than 1/2" after zero

Guy beside me also has a 243, He was using a CZ and also grouping less than 1/2"

have not used it hunting, have to wait till the season is in.

Yep the Sultan is a lovely gun, but comes with a 19" barrel. I wanted something a wee bit longer. I went with the Delux. Just nicer wood and engravings. Lakelands had the gun over from Mauser for a game fare and I done a deal to get 20% knocked off the price as it was a show model, though never fired. It was also a left hand action and I shoot lefty. Just waiting on the licence through now. Anyone any experience of how long it takes to change over?

It wasn't me!

Lefty Mauser M03? Would love a look at that sometime. I was handling one at the game fair in Birr a couple of years back and was debating whether I really needed both kidneys, and that was right handed. I'll bring along my Sako and can see the two of them side by side.

Sounds great, will give you a shout as soon as the licence is through. Looking forward to getting it an firing off a few rounds. Have the Zeiss Victory with built in rangefinder to go on top of it. just need to decide on a mod and good to go. The gear will be grand its the shooter that needs to be upgraded also.
Then next up is do the HCAP and try to get a decent let to suplement my permissions. U doing it this year?

Lads,

I'm merging the two threads on Privi ammunition (one from Leupold90, and the other from Mauser308) as one poster is looking for info and another is giving reviews. That along with the responses to both should serve as one good thread will all details/answers sought.

Mick Duggan in killarney had it last time I was talkin to him about 6 months ago. Pm me if you want his number.

SAKO_FTR

The only two I know of that stock Prvi ammo
Fingal Sports & Tannyoky

I don't know of any stockist in Munster.

crackcrack30

Would this ammo have any adverse effects on the gun or mod - i.e corrosion ?, would be use using for zero & sharpen up target.

Privi is non corrosive....

crackcrack30

Cheers,

Zero in rifle & a few warm up rounds prior to stalking deer.
Will stick to my federal power shok for kill shot.

The price just seems too good to be true.......but ive read some good reviews for this ammo.....will get 100 rounds if available.
