Has anyone seen, or used this ammo? I would think for the price, it may be worth a try.

Wow! That is a nice price, it will be interesting to hear what anyone who has tried has to say about it... I would be very interested in how good the brass is for reloading. I know some of the other Privi brass has been fairly soft which won't help in a large Magnum caliber like the 338 Lapua.

I haven't tried this stuff yet, but Midway USA also sells 400rnd cases of this ammo for roughly $2.50/round (or $0.40/round cheaper than by the box of 20). A GREAT price either way depending on how it performs and how good the brass is for reloading purposes.
 
Re: .338 Lapua Mag Box Ammo from Prvi Partizan

I've shot about 200 rounds of it. It's not bad, but it's not great. The cases seem to be a little soft ( I experienced heavy bolt lift and some of the case heads wouldn't fit into the shell holder when I went to de-prime)

I haven't reloaded any as of yet, just have the 200 empties in a bag in the closet. I scored 400 once fired Lapua cases for a good price and bought 200 new Lapua, so I haven't had the need to use the PP cases.

The accuracy wasn't that bad, but not nearly as good as a 300 MK in a hand load. They did blow holes in an 11.5" cast iron plate at 500 yards though. And went about 60% at 1400 yards with them.

If you wanna make a lot of noise and maybe hit something really far away these will do.
