54r ammo. 1000 rd norinco vs 880 Russian. whats better?

personnally i dont like the chinesse stuff , some guys have reported that they get some trouble with the case sometime , i stick with the russian/ bulgarian stuff for 224$ + tax for 880 of bulgarian cant go wrong
 
The Russian stuff is always good, regardless of year. Stay away from Czeck ammo, tends to stick in the chamber . Maybe too much lacquer on the cases.
 
here in edmonton it wholesales sport at 225 for 880 , but that might be a little far for you !

you should look at tradex one of the sponsor here , they might have some with free shipping, but price for bulgarian is around 240$ generally
 
I'm shooting the new Norc, no problems so far in my svt. Will be buying a mosin and another 1000 rounds of the Norc soon, I'm sure the surplus Russian is fine as well.
 
The new norc is a higer count for a lower price. Id like to go with that just wondering if theyre on par with russian silver tips
 
I ran both in my M44 last time I was at the range. Both shoot about the same, the Chinese stuff I found took more effort when cycling the action. Not sure if the rim is slightly thicker than on the Russian stuff - just made the bolt feel more stiff. Personally I'll be sticking with the Russian stuff till it runs dry
 
Last time I had my svt out I was hitting a 10-12" steel brake drum at 100 yards with no problems with the new Norc x54r, it's dirty ammo but it goes bang and is accurate enough for me. I had a couple packs of Russian or Romanian surplus with me as well but never used it, just ran 50-70 rounds of the Norinco through it and put a bunch of surplus through the sks.
 
I would just be using it in a 91/30 sniper a fin m91 i get about 3-4 moa with the sniper and about 3 moa or better with the m91 using the silvertip russian. Not sure what to get now with the mixed answers lol
 
Only one way to find out in the end, buy some and you'll have your answer. Check and see if CanAm sells it in a small package and test it out.

Edit: CanAm sells 125rnd packs for $36.99 plus shipping, that's a trip or two to the range depending on how you shoot. Enough to know if you want to buy a 1000rnds or stick with your Russian surplus.
