I've never shot any of that before. Is it any good? Worth the .33 cents a round I gave for it? It came in a 520? round sealed tin.

it's some pretty decent stuff, copper washed steel core, loaded to 762.51 nato specs, don't remember spectacular accuracy with it, but it was decent and went bang everytime and hit resonably close to where I aimed it, hell for all I know it coulda been match accurate stuff, but back then like now, I did't shoot so well .if you come across a good deal on the 556/223 commerical stuff in yellow packages with red lettering, buy all you can, it was loaded up to 556 nato pressures and could be had for approx 3/4 the price of old white box/black lettering m193 American Eagle, I think the M193 American Eagle was running somewhere around $90/k at OA back then and the norinco was around $75/k, not a bad deal considering both were brassed cased, there was also the "china sport" ammo in white boxes with black lettering that was pretty Goddamned cheap and good shooting ammo, said something like chinasport, the year and a triangle on the headstamp, plus it was loaded in some pretty decent brass cases in 762.39, 762.51, 556/223, 45acp, 9mil. it stunk a bit when fired, but at $5/50 for 45acp I couldn't bitch. but my favorite pres of the later 20th century, blowjob bill clinton, fucked all that up though  .
