Found one I've never seen before.  Anybody know what it is?  It was mixed in with a bunch of range pickups and appears to be 223/5.56

That stuff has soft primer pockets which loosen up.  Good for one reload then tossing into the scrap bucket. I culled all my CJ brass along with FC brass at my last 223 reloading project

I've loaded them for blasting ammo.

Not the longest lasting brass, I get a lot of neck splits.

Thanks all.  I looked at the searches linked, but must have misread them.

Looks like Norinco.  I'm used to seeing a 2 digit number on the stuff from the early 90's.

Norinco,,, can be loaded, but as noted in previous posts, it is soft... their 9x19 cases were soft too, load those 1 time, likely find primer pockets loose, I started to recycle bucket all of them.
