PRVI Partizan PPU Cartridges Cal. 7.5 x 55 Swiss 174-FMJ BT (20 pcs)
PRVI Partizan PPU 7.5 x 55 Swiss cartridges with 174-FMJ BT bullets offer dependable, repeatable performance for sport shooting, historical firearms enthusiasts, and compatible rifles. Supplied in boxes of 20, these rounds are manufactured with attention to dimensional tolerances and bullet geometry aimed at consistent ballistics.
Main features
- Caliber: 7.5 x 55 Swiss.
- Bullet type: 174-FMJ BT (Full Metal Jacket, Boat Tail).
- Packaging: 20 rounds per box.
- Manufacturer: PRVI Partizan (PPU).
These core attributes make it easy to determine suitability for a given rifle. The FMJ BT designation indicates a full metal jacket projectile with a boat tail shape, beneficial for aerodynamic stability and sustained flight at distance.
Consistent manufacturing reduces pressure and dimensional variability, which in turn improves grouping and repeatability. PRVI Partizan emphasizes control over case production and assembly, which are critical for shooters who prioritize reliability.
Users commonly select this ammunition for range training and historical shooting disciplines where consistent load performance matters for accurate shot placement.

The list above reflects the product reference details. Specific ballistic numbers such as muzzle velocity and performance vary with firearm model and barrel length, so they are not provided here to avoid inaccurate generalizations.
The grain-to-gram conversion is included for convenience: 174 grains 11.27 grams. For precise ballistic data on a particular rifle, measurement with a chronograph under controlled conditions is the recommended approach.
No estimated velocity values are included; accurate figures require testing with the intended firearm and setup.
Applications and performance
The 7.5 x 55 Swiss 174-FMJ BT cartridges are suitable for range practice, precision shooting with period rifles, and target work. The FMJ BT design favors stable trajectories and predictable downrange behavior, which helps with consistent group sizes when combined with a well-maintained rifle.
Boat tail bullets often offer improved ballistic coefficients compared to flat-base designs, helping retain velocity and reduce wind drift. For shooters seeking repeatability, consistent case dimensions and seating depth contribute to uniform pressures and tighter groups.
Compatibility with bolt-action and compatible semi-automatic rifles makes this ammunition versatile, though note that full metal jacket bullets are typically not the preferred choice for hunting when controlled expansion is required.
Storage and safe handling tips
Store ammunition in a cool, dry place away from children and unauthorized users. Keeping original packaging aids identification of lot numbers and manufacturing details, which is useful for traceability.
Inspect rounds prior to use for dents, corrosion, or damaged primers. Do not fire cartridges that show physical defects. Confirm that your firearm is correctly chambered for 7.5 x 55 Swiss before use.
Always use hearing and eye protection when shooting, follow local laws for transport and storage, and avoid environments that could expose ammunition to moisture or corrosive agents.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these rounds compatible with military surplus rifles?
Compatibility depends on the rifle's chamber specifications and extractor condition. Consult the firearm's documentation or a qualified gunsmith to ensure safe use.
- Can I use them for hunting?
FMJ bullets are primarily for target and training; for hunting, expanding bullets are generally recommended in accordance with local regulations and ethical considerations.
- How are they packaged?
Standard packaging is a box of 20 rounds; specific internal protective materials may vary by production batch.
