Not in that caliber, but in 6.5x55 and 7.5x55. For some reason I can't really remember the results of the 6.5x55 (it was a while back), but the 7.5 Swiss shot very accurately.
I've shot quite a bit of it, decent ammo at a good price. Their .22 Hornet ammo is surprisingly accurate in my two guns and one of my bud's.

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!
Never grow a wishbone where a backbone ought to be.
22 Hornet and 303 British - very reliable, appear well made, not tested vs. anything else for accuracy, but seemed good.
May try some 338 Lapua sometime; costs WAY less than Lapua brand, though I'd prefer most of my brass to be Lapua.
Haven't had the opportunity to reload any cases yet, but they appear uniform.
P.S. - I just realized I've been using their 38 Special round nose for quite some time (a couple thousand rounds), because it is sold locally at a good price, and 38 Special is my 'go-to' round for my 'Newbie Course', and I use lots of it.

The Privi I have used has all worked as well as non-match US fodder, and in the case of 7.62x54R the brass is actually reloadable, so @ .75/rd for 147gr SP it's quite a.deal...

Ditto...have used a bunch different itineration's and all are reloadable along with shooting well. Can not give you any advice as to the specific 7mm-08 though.
I have used it in my marlin .30.30. Also have used the remington , monarch, hornady, and federal.. They all go bang when I pull the trigger. Not sure about their reloading qualities since I don't reload.

I've shot it in 7.5 Swiss, .30-30, .30-06, and .44 Rem. Mag. I would compare it to Remington green box CorLokt or Winchester silver box Power Point. A good general purpose hunting round. The price is right and availability online seems good during these times of shortages. The brass is good for reloading, which is definitely a plus for the 7.5 Swiss since the Swiss mil-surp is berdan primed.

I have shot some 8mm mauser Privi Partisan with no issues that I attribute to ammo. The one issue that I have experienced I am pretty sure was the result of my mishandling the firing pin while doing my initial clean up of the rifle. I screwed up and flattened the nose of the firing pin on the garage floor while cleaning the rifle for the first time.

When Jr got his grandfather's .270 a while back it was one of the first brands of ammo we tried in it.
It seemed to be well made ammo and shot well too.

It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.
Recent as of 2 weeks ago, I heard through a couple of news sources that Russia is thinking of striking back at our various "sanctions" (as ineffectual as they may be) for their "naughtiness" on the international scene, including the cessation of sales to the U.S. of various products. If this is true, then Russa's satellites and "re-acquired" and "liberated" satellites (eyes rolling) would possibly be included.
Whether that is accurate or not, it is food for the thought. I went ahead and purchased some more 7.62X39 rounds from the Serbian Prvi Partizan company because they are cheap, acceptably accurate, and reliable for my intended uses.
Used it in 6.5x55, and the brass seems to be pretty good and as a bonus is already annealed. The overall quality of the loaded ammo seems decent. I thought the on the last deer I shot that a bullet might have been a little soft, but on the other hand I've never had a problem killing with it.
Profanity is a poor substitute for a proper education.
Bought a bunch due to availability. Limited testing-2 boxes at 300M yielded about MOA from plain jane AR carbine. Clean enough. Use their 762-54R brass and it seems ti=o be good quality. 3-4 reloads on limited sample with good performance.
