I also find some of it stamped 'PPU'.
Turns out the 'nny' is the Cryllic stamp for 'PPU'; they are both made by Privi-Partisan.
From Wikipedia: "ППУ (PPU) Prvi Partizanski zavod ad Užice ("First Partisan" Ammunition Plant) (1945–present) – Užice, Yugoslavia (now Serbia)."
I bought a heap of .308 150gn SP Highland ammo about 10 years back.
The ammo was pretty crap for accuracy/consistency.
When I first started reloading the brass, I didnt have high hopes for the quality of it.
I found it needed a lot of work to get it into similar shape as the Lapua and even ADI brass I'd bought.
But once I got it all into shape, it's lasted pretty well, and that brass is still part of my collection of brass after 8 or more reloads.
[Unlike the new Remington brass I bought for the 7mm-08; binned the whole batch on the 3rd reload due to the high amount of case failures.]

Most a little dull on the outside but shiny new on the inside. Being the suspicious type, I've de-primed, re-sized, annealed all of it. Apart from the odd primer size difference, turns out they're all LRP, some a little tighter, the projectiles I pulled from the loaded rounds looked ODD. 2 were cannelured SP 140gr, the rest were 142gr boat tail. (looked like javelins) I took out one of my 25Cal projectiles and they dropped through the mouth of the pulled case. I'm in the process of buying a new gauge, so I can't accurately measure the diameter, but I'm thinking they're 6.5 proj. The previous owner has been playing dangerously. There is no load data for 140gr for the 25-06. And these proj were definitely loaded into 25-06 cases. Glad I didn't just drive them into my new toy. The 6.5-06 ASQUARE is out there, BUT!!!

Well I will just have to see for myself. At $40/100, the paddock rats won't know the difference.

Great don't forget to put up a review I for one would like to know if they are explosive or tough and mushroom like a hunting pill .
