INFO: PPU 6.5x54 MS
This below copied from one of my posts last Fall in the Mannlicher section is my experience with the PPU ammo, for your interest and amusement.
Minor feed issues aside I find the ammo to be nicely accurate and consistent.

.......just fired the factory load Privi Partizan 6.5x54 156 grain (sort of) round nose for a velocity baseline. 32 degrees F, but ammo and rifle were "room temperature".
5 shots:
1) 2275
2) 2330
3) 2306
4) 2327
5) 2321

Factory advertised muzzle velocity is 2395'/sec. The Jeffery has a 26" barrel & shot #1 was out of a clean barrel.

As noted elsewhere, the PPU bullets are loaded a little shorter than standard spec and the soft nose tips are roundnose but a flat tip. This results in problematic feeding from my 1903 Jeffery Mannlicher Schonauer magazine. Reloads with the Hornady 160 grain roundnose loaded to traditional 3.06” length feed fine, as they do in my Wm. Evans 1893 Steyr .256 Mannlicher (6.5x53R) loaded to 3.05”.
