Would you pay $449 for 1120 rounds of norinco .223?

Why buy that complete #### ammo that is NOT even brass cased,

Says its brass cased but its some type of brass bimetal mixture
It wears out extractors after 1 case
The stuff Is dirtier than your mother,
And smells like her too

You must be running a cheap #### bolt then. No steel cased ammo will wear a quality tool steel after a case of ammo.
 
Prices won't go down for awhile. It's to bad you didn't stack it deep when prices were good. Look at Canam bringing in the IMI stuff at double the price of PMC. 1000rds for $1000
 
Heh - I've picked up so much norc .45 and .223 brass off the ground that I'll never need to buy brass. Nothing wrong with either for reloading, especially the .45 stuff

And so far as norc vs tula. I have both - neither are terribly impressive, though Tula is loaded weaker and the steel case is worthless.

Yeah I know, but until I have my place to reload I gotta buy brass ammo so no tula or other cheap steel case ammo. Norc ammo has good reviews and is cheap brass to save for later ! last I checked for american eagle was about 60cents a shot.

look around it goes on sale quite often for 9.50 a box
AR223 AE
 
Start reloading, you could make your press cost back on the first 1000 in comparison. Back when it was$279 for a case I would say buy surplus.

It's not hard to tell

I've put 2000 rounds of the 45 through a top quality firearm it's needed 2 extractors replaced since (dulls up the sharp case rim grabbing point,

No other ammo does this

4 thou of American factory brass cased still harp and shiny

It ain't brass doesn't matter how much you want it to be but it's not 100% brass

It's cheap for a reason they use dirty chineaee components and pass off some things as the real thing when they just aren't

Excellent metalurgy testing lol. What quality pistol do you have that wears an extractor out that fast?

That must me a very high quality firearm to have the extractor give up that easily...

Got close to 6k thru my DD and not one single FTE and extractor is good as new.

Unfortunatly it was tested by many members here, and it is brass and suitable for reloading

I agree. I still reload just because I can't stand to look at a pail of empty brass, but at $279/case, it was a no-brainer.
