In my mixed 10mm brass I have a couple ppu head stamps. I've been wary of these, but so far so good. I also have 100 rounds of ppu 44 mag. Should I just donate these to the range when I shoot them or are they okay to be reloaded?
I still toss it in the scrap pail. I have read many guys use it with not troubles... just seemed every time I had a problems brass related, I looked and it was PPU...
Maybe its changed, dunno. But I don't really see that much of it, so I still just toss it. maybe I would be trying it if I did not have a surplus of the caliber.

I have reloaded many PPU brass and my advice is to carefully inspect it at each step in the loading process, especially the final completed cartridge, for bullet tightness for neck tension to hold the bullets tight.
We have shown where there was some PPU brass that have shown problems with bullet setback, and in the process of study and correcting the issue I actually annealed them to soften the brass so it would hold its resized dimensions. Before annealing the brass would not retain the resized measurements...
