Norc 7.62x51 520rnd crates: What's inside?

[Tengoo]

Okay...520 rounds of ammo, I get that. But how is it packaged? Cardboard 20's? A sealed can? Two sealed cans? I'm not going to shoot mine right away, but I'd like to store it more conveniently than in the wood crate. Should I break it open if I'm not going to use it [maybe] this year?

Two sealed cans in side the cans the ammo is paper wrapped.

If you're getting from CanAm they come in Norinco boxes of 20. Styrofoam inserts in the box for each bullet.

Thats how mine came And some times they sneak in some targets or a popsicle stick or a calendar if you've been a good boy. Repacked mine in a .50 cal ammo can as the wood crate smelled to funky for me

The 1000 round crates came packed in two spam cans with paper packets of ammo in the cans.

Hmmm... I didn't get mine from CanAM...it came from the Calgary Shooting Centre. I would have thought that all the Norinco wooden crated 7.62x51/520 round crates would be the same.

My 1000 rnd. crate from CanAm had the two sealed cans...one is still unopened and I'd like to hold it in reserve [you know...zombies...] but if the 520 crates are in cardboard and styrofoam, I'll open it and start using that instead.

Haha, I got mine the same way...got a calendar, got some targets, and the popsicle stick.....started a thread about it, haha!

how well does this stuff shoot? Ive heard good things about the brass cased linked ammo, but not much about this steel cased/copper washed stuff

 

[diemaco]

Seems to shoot pretty good. It isn't match ammo by any means but goes bang everytime and isn't horrible. For $0.50 a shot I'll be buying more of it. I wish it was packed in spam cans for storage though.

Agreed. Gone through about 100 rounds of the stuff, and seems more reliable than MFS.

With the steel cased stuff I was hitting the gong at 200 reliably and fairly well at 300 with open sights using my M305.
