Contemplating buying a shwack of this.

I've fired lots of Chinese .223/5.56 Surplus... It's reliable, tends to be dirty, and is on par with Tula for accuracy.

As for age... I couldn't tell you... I've shot stuff from the 1980's.

Is this stuff cheaper then something like wolf ammo? I bought 1000rnds of .223 wolf steel case FMJ for $370 taxes in. I have been wondering about this stuff though, only thing is i dont really want to run dirty ammo though $2-3K guns.

Where do you find this stuff and how cheap is it?

What language is that? I thought eastern European at first but Ive been to that part of the world a few times and have never heard anything like that.

Im thinking it must be south-east Asian in origin, am I correct?

Having shot both I actually prefer the CHinese stuff.

I have a case of the Wolf Polyformance and I find that it does like to strip the top round from the mag in all my AR's.

As mentioned the Chinese stuff is dirty, but for me it preformed well in my guns.

I ran into problems with Norinco branded .223 several years ago. Spent primers fell into my trigger mech, and the brass was no good for reloading. Still, at the right price I would pick some up.
