I bought some in 7x57 mainly for the brass because rems, wins, and feds were north of $50 a box. Just for fun, I checked the OALs from 1 box. The measurements were all over the place. They grouped OK from my rifle, but the next two boxes, I'm going to seat the bullets to a uniform OAL. I loaded the brass after shooting the factory stuff and they did well.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Back during the plandemic I bought a bunch of PPU ammo for the 6.5 Grendel and the 7.62x39 AR. I deconstructed some of both calibers for the brass. I weighed lots of the powder charges in the rounds and they were surprisingly consistent. As said above, the OALs were not very consistent. The few rounds I did shoot, shot very well.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Its about all i use in off season for hogs. Never tried it on deer but im sure it would do just fine with good shot placement. It does run a little dirty.

The PPU .45acp hollowpoint looks very close to the old Speer 200 grain flying ashtray and opens up very well in tests. Yes it's a bit dirty but all of it is.
