Not corrosive, but stinks like ammonia

I actually like the smell.....

They are surprisingly good ammo. I still get some minor rust in the gas cylinder after a shooting session but nothing as bad as russian ammo for the SKS.

I'll make note of that. Have to break er down and do a thorough cleaning.

 

[SteelCap]

For what you're paying its not bad. Alternate once this is dried up is tulammo.

 

[saskcop]

Good ammo. Buy it while you still can.

Decent ammo...non-corrosive. You might want to avoid using it in tight chambered semi-autos like AR-10s or LR-308s. Apparently the lacquer on the cases can cause extraction difficulties and damage the extractor. In your M-305 it's just fine....lots of people use it exclusively.

 

[saskcop]

They are copper washed not lacquer cases if I am not mistaken. No problems with extraction.

I think I instantly got cancer when I openned the first can, that thing smells like death chemicals.

Shoots pretty good tho and price is great!

I love the stuff! A LOT cleaner then the Barnaul crap I use to put threw it.

I'll have to buy a bunch more once I'm back out west again.

wasnt this the ammo that canadaammo said was going up 30% in price as of Oct 22 2015?

Canada ammo's post is about the Dominion 7.62 x 39 FMJ.

tula is dirty ammo, for what it is it is overpriced.I will not put it in my rifles. norc is cleaner and more accurate. so when did the chicoms stop making ammo?

Canadaammo hasn't had it in stock for over a year.

I dont know if they stopped or just stopped shipping it here!

I have a whole bunch of the Norinco .308 ammo

I'm running it in 2 of my 3 M-305's.
It's fairly clean and decently accurate from my rifles.
i chronographed it through my 22" barrel and the average velocity was 2795 fps with an extreme spread of less than 100 fps

Good info sniper58, thanks.
