Norinco 5.56/223 what to buy?

[tpirovol]

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering with all this Norinco ammo out there which one is the best? I see some people referencing 5.56 vs 223. I will be using this ammo with a AR and hoping that it is somewhat accurate/reliable?

Thank You

There have been plenty of threads about norinco ammo. It doesn't sound like you will get reliable or accurate if you go with norinco.
I won't run it in my rifles.

I havn't had any problems with my ammo, shoots pretty straight. The odd round will stray a few inches, but for $.23 a round I am ok with that.

Norc 5.56 is supposed to be M193 spec ammo so it is hotter than .223. I have never had an issue with the stuff and the brass is quite decent for reloading. Don't listen to the ammo snobs.

no complants here. perfect range ammo. Too bad they are dried out...

If you can find some get it ASAP because what is here is all there's going to be for now. fingers crossed canam can find a new company to ship it.

Shot a case no issues. Going out to buy more while I can still get some.

Where is the info coming from that Norinco ammo will not be available? Another rumor to fuel stockpiling?

The info comes from Canada Ammo. There is a thread about it in their forum I think and this one in the Blackand Green Rifles section:

Check CanAm sub-forum. Shipping issues with Cosco.

I have shot ~2000 rounds of norinco with an acog on an AR, I would say the stuff is reliable enough to shoot groupings with. I think I've had 2 stovepipes, and 1 dry fire in all those rounds. Brass is excellent for reloading (except I can't reload it for less than the price of it new)

Thanks Running Fool. Always hate to buy into the hype.

Totally agree

I may pick up the brass from my last case (if the shipping issue doesn't get resolved) but that's a fair way down the track from now
