    PPU Recall

    Not sure of the date of this announcement, but I just came across it and have never heard it mentioned before. Thought I would throw it out there.

    A few pages back, but it is known

    It's official. I got the e-mail on September 2 from Midway. It isn't just brass. It's all PPU 6.5 Grendel Ammo and brass. I had a feeling that $0.50 per piece was too good to be true. To hedge my bets I bought some Norma 6.5 Grendel brass for $1.50 a piece and just today I bought some Nosler 6.5 Grendel brass for $1.78 a

      I put "PPU recall" in the search box and got nothing. Glad to know it's out there.

        There's a more robust search engine in this thread.

        I've noticed that many people seem to have difficulty finding information via the forum search feature on 65grendel.com. This is not intended as a criticism of this website nor its administrators, as the issue seems relatively common on many internet forums. Thus, I've made an effort to create a Google custom search engine


        It used to be a sticky, but doesn't seem to be anymore.

          Was all the ammo recalled and did it include the wolf gold? I saw a listing on gunbroker for the ammo http://www.gunbroker.com/item/630369143, seller says he called wolf and PPU and both said this ammo he is selling was not part of the recall.

            Ppu told me on the phone ALL 6.5 grendel ppu is recalled. Here is the text from the email on how to return it.

              After a short email discussion with PPU, I sent back my fired brass (minus a couple somewhere in the weeds) and the unfired ammunition. I asked for, and received a "call tag" for the shipment. I sent the package, with receipts (thankfully, I purchased on-line, so receipts were easy to find), and received a check in about three weeks, for the cost of the ammo plus delivery/shipping costs.

              I almost didn't return it because I'd had no problems; then it got warm outside. No other signs of over-pressure, and velocity was about the same as when it was cooler, but primer pockets enlarged on a single firing. About half would not hold a new primer.

              I strongly suggest that you send any rounds/brass that you might have back to PPU for a refund or exchange (they had nothing in stock that I wanted). The ammo didn't shoot "bad", but it isn't that great to risk the potential problems.
