PRVI Patizan
Any info on these rounds would be helpful, I have a chance to buy some .243 Win. at a fairly good price, but I have never heard of this company, or if the ammo is worth it.
Thanks

I would say it is about the same load quality as Remington green/yellow box stuff but the brass is way better.
I have shot a box of it in my .300 WIn Mag and have more but have not had a real chance to try it. I bought it because loaded ammo was just a bit more then buying brass.
I got some .30-06 for my neighbor and he shot 60 rounds, liked it an I got him another 100. Hard to beat for the price.0 -

PRVI Partizan ammo is made in Serbia (formerly part of Yugoslavia), and its good ammo at its price point.
The company isn't some fly-by-night operation. Its been making ammo for over 80 years.0 -
I have experience with PRVI Partizan in calibers not normally loaded by US companies, for example 7.62x54R Russian. In those calibers, the factory loads have performed well, and I have found the brass to be quite reloadable, near as I can tell, as good as I normally expect from domestic W-W, R-P, etc. I have tended to stick by domestic cartridges for commonly available calibers. 0 -

One part (bunker?) of it had an explosion. From the videos of the aftermath, it doesn't look like they will be out of production in that part for very long. Much of the complex was unharmed. Just a bunch of BS from dealers. You can search for the videos on Youtube.
As far as the ammunition. I like it and shoot it. Hard to beat the price on some cartridges and their match stuff is top notch. I also like the brass.0 -
Maybe BS form distributors why would dealers say that ? 0 -

Besides the US they sell to some really nice folks:
BELGRADE (Reuters) - Four explosions at an ammunition factory in western Serbia killed six people and wounded at least eight on Thursday, a police official said.
Police, firefighters and the military sealed off the area around the Prvi Partizan ammunition factory in the town of Uzice, some 160 km (100 miles) west of the capital Belgrade, said Deputy Interior Minister Predrag Maric.
"Rescuers found six bodies inside an ammunition loading facility. That's the death toll. The injured people have been hospitalized," Maric said.
Prvi Partizan is Serbia's largest ammunition factory. It produces military and hunting ammunition as well as gun powder and explosives.
Maric said firefighters had "doused the fires and there is no danger of more explosions." He did not elaborate about the causes of the blast pending the end of the initial investigation.
Interior Minister Ivica Dacic was on his way to the site, said a ministry spokeswoman.
Serbian defense industries have stepped up production in past two years, mainly exporting to Iraq, Libya, the United States and Myanmar. The total value of export deals in 2008 exceeded $600 million.
Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac said last week that Serbia had secured a $100 million export deal for weapons and military equipment to Iraq.0
