Norinco 9mm

I usually use the scanner for the pistol rounds as well. Just select a slightly higher resolution (300 - 600dpi should work well).

Vlim -

What did you use for a backdrop??? I usually use a blue, pink, or yellow towel...Draped directly over the cartridges...

Here's two scans...both at 600dpi...with a dark and a light blue backdrop...

First pic is 7.63mm Mauser; second has the Norinco 9mm at top, and Federal 9mm at bottom...

Dear Postion:

Now that you have given me a good look at it, this is definately not the 124 gr Chinese ammo I have.

Mine is in a very "brassy" colored case, your looks like it has more of a copper composition to it. Also, mine is in a much "thinner" case; yours looks like, what I would consider, a normal military style case.

Well, the mystery continues. I'll be testing my ammo upon my upcoming trip to Florida.

Thanks!

It could be me; my IBM G96 monitor displays everything very dark. I usually lighten my pics up in PSP to display them better.

Compared to the Federal 9mm, the Norinco case is quite a bit darker. The bullet itself is yellower than the case.
