Shoot it, and run away from the brass.

I have always heard decent things about the Norinco brass?

The brass seem to be alloyed in a couple different blends...

If you pay close attn to it,  some of it looks bright yellow, it is soft, maybe load it 1 or 2 times...

Then the other will have a bronze tint about it, feel slight heavier.. it is stronger/better alloy.

I do have a pile of 1 fire Norinco out in the scrap bucket if you indeed want it...
