I would do that. I find no special value in China  unless maybe steel core stuff. Sealed primers is a big deal to some.

Chiners have steel core. That's why they want it.  I wouldn't do it

I would trade him. More rounds, reloadable, and non corrosive primers.

Steel core isn't that special.

The steel core is mild steel. Negligibly more penetration than lead core. I'd get rid of the Norinco for something I'll shoot and possibly reload.



I have a few boxes of that norinco stuff for my ammo collection.

The 550 cans have always been steel core. I would still trade them away. For privi brass cased in a second. The steel cored is also mostly corrosive.
