6.5 x 55 for my m96 swede.
no problems at all.
after the 1st trim to min just have to neck size.
have 200 and about half have been fired 4x.

same for my 7.5 x 55
k31 and 1911. i keep the cases separate so i only need to neck size

Yup, I have some Prvi brass for my 6.5x55 Swedes too.
Have only had em for a few months (max is 3x reloaded) so I'm not sure how they'll fare in the long run compared to the Winchester brass that I usually use in that caliber.

Use it with my 54r up to three loading,had no problems with it so far.

Use it for 7.62X54R also, great brass and lasts a long time. I am up to 10 cycles on mine and they still look okay. They have deep primer pockets as compared to winchester, or s&b. but still fire when the hammer drops...

Use it in my 7.5x54 French. Seems like pretty good brass.

I use it for .303, 7.5 Swiss, 8mm, and X54R. Never had any problems, good brass.
