IIRC, the Korean stuff doesn't shoot as well as the Greek, plus I believe the Korean stuff is corrosive. The HXP you have is NOT corrosive and some folks consider it to shoot better than LC. The brass is great for reloading too.
If you need proper disposal, my Garand likes HXP!

Regarding Korean .30-06 ammo:
"KA" headstamp is corrosive
"PS" headstamp is noncorrosive
