I'm thinking of picking up 100-500 rounds of this stuff from 2A Ammunitions, just out of curiosity.

Depending on the price I would rather have a better brand than Turan.
I have no experience with that brand but other brands have a long history of good ammo behind them. Here's some decent deals for you. I ordered some from here and it came well packed and fairly quick too. PMC bronze .223 PMC X-tac 5.56 |

Wasn’t the ZQI Turk ammo too, and blew up more than a few 7.62 guns.

This may sound dumb ... but I'm trying to collect .223/5.56 ammo manufactured from different parts of the world.
So Turkish, chinese, korean (pmc), etc. Any other suggestions? Mexico is Aguila. |

Magtech is Brazilian, though they're now part of the same parent company as MEN and S&B.
DSArms and PSA sell Indian 5.56 but both are currently out of stock. Igman is Bosnian. Wolf WM193 is Taiwanese. |

That's standard for copper jackets. just about every "NATO" spec FMJ is going to be CuZn10 mix copper. CuZn30 is standard for Brass casings. |
