What's Norinco brass like???

[Heddok]

I'm going to need a 1000 45 Acp cases. I thought maybe about getting a case of Norinco 45 Acp loaded ammo as one of the sponsers has a good deal on it. So what's the brass like? Any good for multiple reloads?

I have reloaded pails of it in .223 and it has proven to be good brass. Obviously not match quality, but I dare say better than some American brands.

Norinco brass is nice.

They are all shiny and gold coloured.

There are those that claim the flash hole is smaller and causes problems with the decapping pin in their dies. I have not experienced that myself.

i had issues with the 223 brass, primer pockets where so loose it wasn't uncommon for the primers to just fall out. using cci's would help cut down this occurance, but i eventually just pitched it all.

I've done OK with Norc .45 brass, I have a few hundred pieces in my .45 mixed brass stash. My experience with .223 and 9mm Norc brass was the same as kevin.303 above (not good).
