A shame for me as PPU brass is good stuff.

My Marlin 30-30 dark shoots PPU factory ammo fine but a bit harder to extract comparing to Hornady and FC. The reloaded PPU brass doesn't suffer from the extraction at all though.

Yeah my issue was the extraction I actually had to stuff a cleaning rod down to get the empty cases out a couple of times. No issues with any other brand.

Interesting about the reloads working fine.
