    Smile Got a gift today

    I helped my older cousin at his house today. When I was getting ready to leave he told me to take this crate with me. I pulled the lid up and said are you sure! He said... take it! Half case of .223 ammo. I'm very happy and just wanted to share.

    That is the "good" stuff, banned from import in the 90's. I believe the brass is reloadable also.

    Everything I have read is it approximates the performance of US M193 ammunition and was good stuff.

    What a great cousin!!

    Wow! The boxes are marked RELOADABLE CASE. Any idea on price per box? I don't wanna rapid fire it if it's better than other .223 junk that I have.

    I don't think it will be any better or worse than any of the other "cheaper" .223 out there right now. It should be decent ammo.

    The only Norinco ammo that commands a premium is the old copper washed, steel case 7.62x39, folks liked to hoard it because it had a steel core.
