    Which primers for PPU brass?

    Should you use standard or magnum large rifle primers in the PPU Grendel brass?

    I have been using standard CCI LRP for stick powder and magnum CCI LRP for ball powder. They all have been working close to the estimated velocities. I am not pushing the higher pressure rounds at this time. I saw no difference from PPU vs other brass at the medium loads.

      Oh - and I also have the slightly longer firing pin used for 7.62x39 military primers. I polished the end of the pin with Flitz to remove any sharp edges. No pierced primers so far.

        I use standard Large Rifle primers which have thicker cups like CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers. I've experienced no pierced primers.

          CCi #34 would be my primer of choice, but i have had good results with Tulammo 7.62 and S&B 5,3LR
