I ran across a unopened case of this copperwashed 7.62x39 ammo, (1200 rounds) and a case of the copperwashed 223 also.(1000 rounds). Bought them for $100 per case, but I don't know anything about these rounds. Anybody have some infromation they can share with me? Both cases are Norinco brand. Is it just blasting ammo or is it better than that? :confused:

As far as I'm concerned it's blasting ammo, I had some in .308 and it wouldn't work in my HK91. It would shoot but after every round I had to cycle the action, wierd thing was it would dump out an unfired round. Gave up on it and traded it to a friend that had an FAL that ate it up.

I don't think they even import it anymore, save some as a conversation piece.

Norinco is about the same quality-wise as Wolf. Back in the days before Wolf, I used Norinco almost exclusively for my SKS and Makarov.
