Difference between Norinco and Dominion 7.62x39

I have both ammunition. The Norinco is made in Asia with copper washed cases/bullets. The Dominion is made in E. Europe with lacquered cases and copper washed bullets. They are very different from each other but both seem to shoot well. I would say that unless you need hollow point ammo get the Norinco as it is bit cheaper if you were able to get the 4 cases for the price of 3 deal at Canada Ammo.
 
I thought they are the same thing. But I was wrong.

No one better tell my wife...................

I've shot a couple cases of each through some different SKS's. Both great ammo, runs good no jams no misfires. Haven't done accuracy comparisons, just ringing the steel from 100-200 yards. I've give u a box of each to try out yourself next time we meet up.
 
they are both the exact same price ($0.25/round). Norinco runs pretty dirty, i have used lots of it without a problem though. I've heard the dominion is a bit cleaner. Also i have heard norinco is very rough on extractors due to the casings expanding when fired, which shouldn't be a problem for sks's or vz58s.

Never really noticed that Norinco was all that dirty...shot an entire case outta one of my SKSs and seemed decent. Had a couple minor issues with the casings, but not worth mentioning.
