308/762x51 copper washed ammo

[Light Infantry]

Im pretty sure i know the answer, but just want to confirm.

Is the Norinco/chinese copper washed 308/762x51 non-corrosive.
I also have heard that it is pretty good ammo?

Thanks in advance for any comments/opinions.

looks like "61" at 12 o'clock and 93 at 6 o'clock as the headstamp.

My understanding is it is non corrosive.

Its non corrosive and great ammo. I bought a ton when it was cheap.

I have never had any corrosion issues across thousands and thousands of rounds. It's ok ammunition, I get a lot of casings with splits in random spots, mostly the neck/shoulder.

It's also relatively slow for x51, not unusually but I have heard a lot of guys comment on how "hot" it is. I have never seen anything impressive from my chronographs.

imo. Quality is hit and miss.

The very first batch i got was great in my norc m14s. Then later cases purchased had issues. The rounds seemed underpowered and would not consistently cycle the m14s bolt fully rear to eject empties properly. One of the more experienced members here suggested that the neck on the rounds were crimped way to tight.
