reloading: PPU projectiles

from Serbia, with love

I got a Care package from Graf & Sons with Prvi Partizan (PPU) projectiles:

• 100 .355 94gr JHP for the .380 - some of these are in the pic to the right. I don’t have a lot of faith that .380 HP will expand out of a 2.75” barrel, but we’ll have to see what the chrono says. If they fail to open they should act like FMJ.
• 100 .355 115gr JHP for the 9mm carbine (made double the test rounds so I could chrono in the carry sidearm, too)
• 100 .355 115gr FMJ out of stock by the time I ordered, so I deleted them
• 100 .323 198gr FMJBT for the Mauser, and
• 100 .323 196gr SPBT for the Mauser

Made up ladder loads and a dummy round for each. The dummy has no primer/powder but has the bullet seated to make the desired OAL. Makes setup for that projectile quick next time around.

PPU is in Serbia. They make a lot of “metric” (European) caliber components like 8mm, so I picked up some of their other stuff while I was paying Graf’s $12 shipping flat fee.

down with the sickness

I think I picked up something. Sore throat and lots of snot last 24 hrs. I got both covid and seasonal flu shots this winter in ELP.
