Quality of latest batch of Norinco 223.

[Mark-II]

Seems that white box is all that is generally available anymore..

I will have to look it up later i had it posted in a thread here a while back. 200 rounds left of the white box and im done with that junk. never had a problem with the paper wrapped spam can or yellow box norc.

Ok thanks. :D
I'm trying to compile a small data base. Generally low lot numbers from 95 production date Norc white box seem to be pretty good.

I haven't fired any yet, mine are from '95, Lot 08. Brass visually looks fine.
Will update once I fire some.

I've had a lot of bad primers lately on my batch of yellow box. About 1 in 20 is a dud. Haven't tried switching rifles yet, I might have better luck with a different gun

What sort of gun? My dad's Axis hates norc ammo. Not enough force or protrusion on the striker to ignite it reliably.

4th crate of 95 lot 19. All white box.

ZERO issues.

The stuff is awesome! It's kinda dirty but who cares! Hotter loads than my reloaded 24.5 gr Varget. Speaking if they're reloadable w/o issues. Cheap. The brass shines new after a polish.

P.S reloadable these are, yes. ( sounds like yoda!)

My experience with Norc brass is that I found it a little bit less durable than other mfg. In short, it's fine for reloading but you won't get as many reloads out of it. You may be able to extend the life with some annealing but is it really worth it for what it costs? My $0.02

It was an HK SL8, I'll try it thru my ar and see how it works
