Does anyone have any experience with Prvi Partizan 5.56 ammo? I learned the hard way that I can't shoot steel cased crap in my firing utensil

I pay about $7 per 20 round box for Sellier & Bellot .223 Remington, 55 grain FMJ. That is a premier ammo manufacturer in th Czech Republic.
It's brass cased, boxer primed. My Mini 14 likes it.
Of course, it also likes Romanian steel cased. But then, it's a Ruger! ;)"There is nothing so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." Winston Churchill

PP used to be the Yugoslavian nat'l ammo maker, before the country split up of course. They only seem to make mil-spec brass, in fact, the only difference between my M75 8mm and the newer commercial 8mm is that nowadays they make the stuff with boxer primers. And PP makes the best brass for .303 British, period: none of the case stretch ring one usually finds when shooting new .303 brass.

I have shot some of there stuff namely the .222 Remington, .223/5.56 and 7.62x39 all seemed like it was pretty good stuff. No failure to fires, not too durty and at the time I was not shooting paper targets so I dont know how excatly how accurate it was. It seemd "Combat Effective" by that I mean it was "1 minute of bottle" or "1 minute of tin can" accurate. The .222 Remington from them was very accurate I could hit 2" Diameter pipe at 260 yards every shot (atleast when I did my part properly). Not sure how well those rounds where staying in "elevation" the pipe was about 3 feet tall but hitting something only 2" wide at 260yards was impressive for my abilities (or lack of) and that was with 24x power scope.
But that rifle is the most accurate and easy to shoot rifle I have had the pleasure of shooting. It is an old model 788 that a gunsmith had put alot of work into. The trigger is very very light and crisp and it has been "glass bedded" and who knows what else. It is starting to show its age now... Barrel is starting to show wear and once beautiful stock now shows alot abuse too (if I had only been smarter when I was younger I would have taken better care of it). Still very accurate for a $200 rifle.
