I purchased some 9mm Winchester white box ammo today in both 50 rd boxes and 100 rd value packs.  The 50 rd packs contains brass with the NATO stamp on them.  

1).  Is there any difference in these two as far as performance?
2).  Is the NATO stamped brass any better or worse for reloading purposes?

I did a search on this site and did not come up with anything.  I apologize in advance if this has already been covered.

They should both reload just fine as far as I know.  The primers on the NATO stamped may be crimped in, so you would need to swage the primer pockets if this is the case, but I'm not sure if 9mm NATO is crimped.
