Quality of latest batch of Norinco 223.

Like everyone says the stuff shoots good and I have been reloading the brass too with no issues. I don't have more than 3 firings on any but they seem to be holding up fine.

It's all mid-90's from what I've seen.

Thanks everyone for the info. I'll be buying a couple crates.

Enjoy. I've fired a few boxes of it and have a few with split necks and one burst primer. Three different rifles. I think the popped primer was in the bolt action..

I was firing my last remaining batch of white box norc ammo and still got the odd hole in the rear portion of the brass. A large puff of smoke comes out the ejection port so you know when it happens. Never had issues in 3k rounds with the old yellow box stuff.

Same here. Have had a couple of those.

I have fired a couple of thousand, no issues. I have also reloaded some, it reloads fine with the proper prep work.

The brass is very hard and can be difficult to resize, it pays to swage the primer pockets and it tends to be quite long so trimming is also required.

Other than that no problems reloading it.

just got a crate this week, it's "95" as well

shot about 2000 rounds of the stuff from 1995-96 through my ruger sr-556. no failures at all. within last 3 months.

I've been playing around with Norinco brass for reloading. It's fine...

With respect to "prep-work," zero need. I NEVER do "prep-work" to any of my brass. Ever.

I used to chamfer and trim, but there's no point, really. Not in my opinion.
