So Chinese is good enough for plinking/camp ammo/winter ammo where you don't want to chase down brass?
Personally, Nork shoots just as well as 168GMM or my Hornady 150gr handloads in my tweaked 14. Sub 2 MOA. I tried a lot of different bullets.
YMMV
Quick question for you all...
I fired a few 20 round boxes of the stuff today, head stamped 83'...is this stuff corrosive? It is okay to reload...ie. boxer primed?
The brass itself didn't look very good...stained up quite a bit.

The '83 stuff seems to exhibit some storage "staining", it doesn't effect the ammo. And should clean right off with normal brass prep for loading. It is boxer primed, and is reloadable. It is non-corrosive ammunition.
