worried about the cost of feeding my m1a.

i thought i'd read that the norinco .223 seemed pretty... 'hot'.

any comments on their 7.62? seems like a decent price.
 
Ask caramel he seems to think it's ok I haven't heard anyone else chime in besides don't for the love of god from a couple dudes. Go to prophet rivers board there is a discussion sort of going on about it there for the m1a springfields
 
I sure hope its good for a M1A because Im going to be feeding it to my LRB. Unless you are worried about your cast receiver?
 
there were comments that the .223 from Norinco was loaded pretty hot- least that's what some folks in black rifle were saying.

so yeah, cast receivers, and any other issues.

i know, i know... i avoid a norinco rifle and then think seriously about their ammo...
 
It goes bang but don't expect match grade accuracy. The majority of the stuff I had showed terrible runout. Roll a round on a flat surface like a table and watch the tip of the bullet.....good ammo should not move up and down at all. Nork stuff was pretty bad.
Tulammo and MFS is a little more $ but has shot better for me in my Nork.

True that the Norc ammo is loaded hot but my NM just is flawless and accurate with it, before i used to think it would hurt my rifles, now after over 200 copperwashed 147 gr with no failures, i dont see why i should stop using them, grease her up good and fire up... JP.
 
About 1,000 rounds through my Norc and it shoots better than the Russian MFS ammo.

As said previously it is bulk surplus ammo so expect 2 to 4 MOA accuracy. My only negative is that the cases are not reloadable.

Is that because of the primer? One reason I was leaning towards this was figuring the brass would be useful....
 
yeah... the description on the site says 'bimetal' so i was assuming that's what it meant- appreciate the confirmation.
