Anyone tried the Norc 7.62x51?

[pb_blade]

Hey has anyone tried this ammo? It's described as:

NORINCO 7.62X51 M80 NATO Ball Cartridges

145 Grain FMJ

Bimetal Copper/Steel-cased, NON-CORROSIVE

I assume it's not reloadable, but anyone shot it? seems pretty cheap.

Yeah -- It's acceptable, maybe even good. I haven't tried it side-by-side with better commercial stuff, but for surplus ball ammo it will definitely do. I've put a couple of hundred rounds through my Norinco M14 and Ruger Scout and had no problems. Someday when I can get a rifle range to myself, I'll put my guns on a rest and really see what it can do. No, it isn't reloadable.

I spoke to a guy at the Calgary Gun show last week who told me he found the Norinco ammo to be wonderfully consistent and accurate in _his_ guns. He wasn't trying to sell me anything, so maybe he wasn't blowing smoke...[shrug].

A friend and fellow CGN'er lets me shoot some through his M14 if I ask nicely, seems to be working well for him if there had been problems with it I am sure he would have mentioned it. Accuracy wise I can't comment as me and him typically just rough zero then shoot at gongs or other makeshift targets.

decent accuracy for a cheap ammo, not very dirty - the only thing I don't like is the smell immediately after shooting it

 

[diemaco]

It smells a little funny but not as bad as eley .22. I only shot 5 rounds at paper to determine the accuracy was " good enough" for bulk/surplus. No missfires but I've had a couple of short strokes in my Shorty (might be a gun issue, its new).

Where did you buy it and how much did yo pay?
Thanks

 

[Maverik187]

I have shot 520rnds of it through my m14 in the last 1.5 months. Haven't had any problems at all with it.

Ammo seems consistent enough (can't say the same for myself though)

Something I just discovered today: the bullet has a mild steel core.

you must be taking about some other norinco ammo, becasue the stuff that comes in 520 round cases has no steel core.

 

[diemaco]

My mistake. It is magnetic, but it is lead core, steel jacket with a copper wash
Norc 7.62x51, marked C J 95, case of 520 from Canadaammo (shorty combo deal)

 

[matty86suk]

i like it, shoots 1ish MOA out of a bolt gun of mine and 2.5ish MOA from my m14...

 

[Roddy]

I bought a bunch, I like the quality and I like the price.

Do you have a lot of this stuff CanAm? I still wish I had bought more non corrosive 7.62x39 before it was gone.

Maybe about another month, then gone for good. There is none left in the Norc warehouse.

seriously... gone for good?

 

[dagobert]

just receive my box from canam, fun to shoot!

 

[periculumnexnecis]

I get 4 moa from my m305 at best, 1.5-2 moa with AE 150 fmj, not bad for the the price.

Norc tells me they have none left. Stock up now.

just put my order in, roughly how many cases do you have left? because if i can afford it i will pick up another case in a few weeks

 

[Mauser GDog]

My M14 likes this stuff, but it's pretty dirty compared to other brass cased factory ammo I've shot. I'd buy it again for the price.
