Prvi Partizan Swede Ammo



Anybody shot any of this?
I'm thinking about ordering some from AIM, but I just was wondering if it's a decent quality ammo? $29 for a box of Remingtons from Gander isn't cheap, but at $10 or so a box from Aim, I'd shoot the Swedes more often..

I've shot both their 6.5 Carcano ammo and their 762x54R ammunition. no duds. all worked great with pretty good accuracy. so im guessing the 6.5 Swede round is just as good

Thanks Nick!
Like I mentioned, $10.50 a box, if you order 10 boxes. It's non-corrosive, boxer primed and completely reloadable.. Works for me!!

Havent shot it yet but even the 'Hot shot" is good for hunting. 3/4" groups @ 100.
The 7.5 Swiss is good stuff. Dont see why the Swede caliber should be any less quality.

I think it is pretty good. Like I said, don't see it too often though.

I have shot their 22 Hornet and founf it was pretty iffy at the least. I bought 2 boxes to check it out. 1st boxe: The first round out of the box was a hang-fire. I had a total of 5 hang-fires and 14 failures to extract. To make sure the FTE wasn't my rifle I fired off a box of Remington with excellent results. However, other than the 19/50 problems, I found the rounds that did fire were pretty good accuracy-wise.
I shot some of the 2nd box from my TC Contender and it worked flawlessly.
I'd order a few boxes and test it out before I'd lay out a large sum. I am, however, planning to order a couple more boxes just to give the stuff a super fair evaluation.
Post your results when you get yours...

I ended up buying 200 rounds from AIM for around the same price (200 for $105). I also picked up 80 rounds of 7.5 Swiss and a 250 round tin of Bulgarian Yellow Tip 7.62x54R Nagant ammo..

Now to make it go BOOM!!

Paper, are you my long lost brother I never had?
I bought 1000 rounds of Bulgarian from AIM.
Sportsmanguide, 40rnds Swede surplus
160 rounds of 7.5x55
Plus 300 rounds of that 8mm Yugo snipper ammo
The Swede cases was mildly corrored. Still OK to fire.
Personally, I think it's time to stock up.

Buy it while you can get it at this price. Last week I bought 5 boxes and shipping was $9+. My local dealer has 12 boxes but he doesn't have the invoice from AIM yet so he doesn't know what his cost will be. I've asked him to set 8 boxes aside for me............it'll cost me less than what I pay when I order it.
