LCW or Norinco 7.62x39, Which should I buy (which is better?)

[Canadian_Zuk]

And the LCW is lead core if your range is annal about steel cored projectile. Harold

All Norinco ammo is also lead core

You can hunt with HP and it's less common than FMJ should you look to sell some stock in the future. Same price as FMJ too. They used to charge more for HP.

The LCW 7.62x39 HP ammo does not look like it is hunt capable, IMO. The hollow point is way too small to be effective. It looks more like a target round to me. I also do not know much about the jacket, but I doubt it is bonded in any way.

Here's a gel test of Brown Bear, looks very similar to the LCW. Personally, I would not trust that for hunting.

Another vid showing TulAmmo SP vs HP. Survey says, go for the SP if you want to hunt with them.

I believe that even the SP rounds have steel jackets, so expansion is going to stink at the best of times. Buy Hornady for huntin'.

This copper washed stuff is all current commercial product. I think it's ok.

Wasn't there a big thread here about some of the supposedly non corrosive Norinco actually turning out to be corrosive?

Actualy the latest batch is non corrosive m43 ball so it has a steel core.

My SKS maintains better accuracy with the LCW. Better groups with LCW but not by much. I've shot a crate of the Norinco stuff and never had an issue.

I'm testing my 2014 white box ammo just to be sure. It's taken a couple of days to show results because of the hot dry air around here! So just checked again and the 2014 white box is non-corrosive . My older eastern bloc ammo is showing signs of corrosion on both nails.

So it appears both choices are a good one for me. Thanks for the info.

Can anybody tell the bullet diameter for norinco and LCW ?
