Default Norinco 9mm

My local gunshop didn't get any Win 231 in yet, so I asked for a box of brass-cased 124gr FMJ cartridges...Only one left was an old box of Norinco...(He had aluminum cased stuff; and hollow points; and frangible bulleted brass-cased stuff; and other stuff guaranteed to break apart if it hits a blade of grass)...

The headstamp reads " 9mm 90 ^ " (that's supposed to be a triangle)...

So...20 year old Chinese 9mm ammo...and no velocity/energy specs...

This should be interesting...

I won't shoot it in Luger/Walther...I'll try a round or two in the Star...If it's too hot, I'll blow it off in the S&W 659...

BTW: The original price tag read $9.99...
