Prvi Partizan's PP8F line features boat tail bullet design that reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange compared to flat-base projectiles. The 198-grain weight matches original military specifications for authentic performance in surplus rifles like the German K98k and Yugoslav M48. Manufacturing standards meet SAAMI specifications with brass cases suitable for reloading.
