I've recently bought some ammo manufactured by prvi partizan. At $13/box for .38special it seems to be a good deal. Is it dirty? Corrosive? Any info would be appreciated.

I've gone through thousands of rounds of their 32ACP in my Beretta Tomcat and Keltec with no problems. They've been around a long time, and as a bonus it's the only brand available right now. I can get cases and cases of most of the calibers they load, while most every other maker is unavailable or overpriced. The .32 I get for $219/1000.

Wolf amunition is not good

[Wolf amunition is not good it was ment for the earagional Ak47 and SkS to day in the AR15 Rugar Mini14 and these newer Ak47 besides all hand guns they have a crome boilt.Where when using wolf amunition for a long time will chip away at the crome boilt and you will have to replace your boilt. In your gun i would rather spend a little more money on better ammo.

A retired friend of mine who spends his retirement shooting and reloading tens of thousands of rounds of just about every caliber of ammunition available out of just as diverse a collection of firearms tells me that Prvi Ammo tends to be a bit on the brittle side for reloading, which is greatly rectified by annealing before reloading. He claims it shoots just fine both factory and reloaded.

I've shot some of it before, and have had no issues with it.

Your comment is confusing...you must be referring to prvi brass in regards to reloading.

I don't mind their bullets, but I'll pass on their brass since we have so many companies to choose from.

I worked with a Serbian woman who lived just "around the corner" from the PRVI factory. She said it's in a bunker carved into the side of a mountain, and was the main supplier of ammo to Serbia during the Yugoslavian civil war.

There was a lot of shooting going on in that war - so I figure if it was good enough that they trusted their lives (and the lives of their family members) to it, it's good enough for me.
