I've ever done hardly anything with them.   I have a cute little Italian sharps carbine in 40-50BN that came with an out fit including PP Bullets cases mould etc.    I shot a few of the loaded rounds but thats my TOTAL experience.   
  WERE the Euro-schuetzen guys using PP bullets?   I have somehow always though of it is as an american thing.   I have that newer book on them  but don;t recall anything about the history of the development and early usage of the PP bullet

The German M71 10,15x60R round was PP
The Swiss M89 7,5x53 was PP
Swiss M69 10,4x38R
Turkish M87 9,5x60R
Serbian M78/80 10,15x63R
Russian M68 10,66x57R Berdan
Egyptian M70 11x50R
Belgian M76 11x50R
French Gras M79 11x59R

I found the following civil rounds with PP
9,3x72R
8,1x72R Brenneke
10.25x69R Express Brazza Carbine
10,25x42R
11x48R
11,6x70R D Express
9,3x57 Mauser
9,3x82R Jung

Some of the express rounds was PP? (here my CRS kicks in!)

So it was "commom" on military rounds but a fair bit more scarse on the civilan market.

One thing to remember:
They were shooters by choice but reloaders by necessity.
The wast majority bought finished components and only a select few rolled their own.

Paper patching the 8.15 is an interesting idea. 

Not sure if the Germans used PP. Must have been one rogue among them.   Wink
