Jonny---Well, I'm not going to say the Norinco ammo is good or bad. I personally DO NOT EVER use ammo from a Communist Country. You cannot trust their products (toys, appliances, etc.) and I darn well wouldn't trust their ammo. If the burnt powder smells funny, it's probably because they make/use different or added components in the powder. So how can this ammo be NATO Spec? My wife (Taiwan Chinese) and I don't trust anything from China.

I will say if you shoot it in your Luger and things go bad, please don't cry here. It's your Luger, do what you want. Remember, Safety First!
