Is Norinco 45acp Brass worth buying ?

[BWANA]

I have access to some once fired & polished brass for reloading but am wondering if it's crap quality ?

it's fine. I wouldn't pay more than a nickle ea though. I've shot 2 crates of Norinco 45 and have reloaded hundreds of Norinco brass. Your reloads will just shoot better than the factory Norinco ammo lol.

I have never had an issue with Norinco brass and have loaded truckloads of 5.56 and .45.

Norinco .45acp brass has been good for me.

It's always mixed in with other stuff, so 10-12 cents ea is the going rate. Primers take a bit more force to seat, but not as much as S&B does (I hate that stuff).

I've picked 1 or two once fired cases that were cracked, but that's out of a thousand or more, and I don't think many of mine split.

There was a lot around when canam had their 1911 sale on. Somewhat less now.

45 just seems to last forever too. I've lost more to my JR carbine mangling them on FTF than I ever had to splits

I've shot 'em just fine, I've had to swage or ream out the primer pockets on them.

Hi Guys, I can't remove the primers from my 45 Norinco brass, pushes the pin from the die. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Tighten up the pin in your die.

tightening your decapping rod incrementally until it does not slide up

Its not great brass but it will do. I pick it up as range brass but can't say I would pay money for it.

No problems with norinco brass. I just make sure to remove the crimp before priming.
