Norinco NS522 Ammo Test Results

[@chrisbaker5302]

Great video, but that isn't a surprise , this is the best channel on you tube for ammo reviews .

[@314299]

Thanks very much.

[@Yukon12gauge00buck]

Jeez that video took me a beer and a half . I love the price of Blazer and they work good in all my 22's great video 314299

[@314299]

There is one unexpected plus to long vid's, more quality beer time!

[@slowhand1198]

314299 Shooting Channel Informative, and nutritional as well. Nice shooting.

[@heinekenboy6901]

great review my Savage markII love the CCI Stinger Blazer Mini-Mag HP Subsonic and the Remington Subsonic ......

[@314299]

That shows how important it is to try a variety of ammo to see what your particular rifle "likes".

[@davidwagner4671]

Looking at some of your older videos this one was great

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

Thank you VERY MUCH for this VALUABLE VIDEO for me because I do have one of the early American Norinco NS 522. I'd like to try mine at 100 yds.😉👍 I'm hoping to be moving in to the country so I can shoot my 22lrs in MY BACK YARD.😃😉👍😊 30:07

[@314299]

I expect your NS522 has a much nicer stock on it than mine does. I hope yours is as good a shooter as mine is.

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

@@314299 I don't know if or how to send a picture of my rifle but UNFORTUNATELY I can't because it's stored at a Friend to keep my TOYS SECURED. I had a FIRE in my BEDROOM 1/19/23 and I lost a few of my TOYS in the FIRE. I'm living in a apartment on the 4th floor and really no room to store my stuff. BUT actually in these days and times I wouldn't want my TEMPORARY NEIGHBORS knowing that I have THOSE TYPES OF TOYS 🤔😉😵‍💫😖👍. They are in a SECURED AREA for the time being. I did keep 2 pistols for PROTECTION, I do have conceal carry since 2000. 😁👍

[@TheGolfguy1]

awesome stuff man! I love these vids keep them up!

[@314299]

Thanks.

[@billycramer3219]

finally a shooting video, instead of buying video. I also tested many 22lr loads for my armscor 14 and the CCI standard velocity works best for me. holding an average 1.48 inch groups @ 100yards. and sub 1/2 inch @ 50. not only separating weight but also rim thickness can improve group reduction.

[@314299]

Nothing wrong with 1.48" at 100 yards. I've not tried CCI Standard Velocity, never seen it in the local stores.

[@johnutting9615]

With the vertical stringing may I suggest that you have it bedded and free floated and then retest

[@314299]

Rifle is already free floated. Vertical stringing may also be the result of velocity variation.

[@SamEEE12]

Impressive results!

[@314299]

I'm pleased, especially with how some of the cheaper ammo performed.

[@dvxdude12]

you do great reviews, Appreciate it

[@314299]

No problem, thanks for the feedback.

[@johnjohnyjonock]

Excellent review, I bought this 22 12 years ago and finally took it out. Has nikon 22 bdc 4-12 scope . Blazers, rem vipers, sk match, elly club all shot well. I need to do the trigger mine feels really heavy . Is there a link or video of the work you've done, bedding stock and trigger I would like to do

[@314299]

I've done nothing to the rifle as far as bedding or trigger work, mine is 100 percent stock. I'm nervous of messing with triggers as it is possible to ruin them and make them unsafe with modifications.

[@1LRLRG]

Interesting results, I need to do that sort of testing with my rifle as well.

[@314299]

No doubt your rifle will show different ammo preference.

[@TheGeodoctorcl]

Your review is great and TY for it.

[@johnjohnyjonock]

Any idea what the twist rate of barell is , left or right? My ns522 is very accurate with a dnt 7_35 optic. Just need the info for app. Thanks

[@314299]

I never measured mine but assume it is 1 in 16" as is standard.

[@skateboardingchamps]

i got a brick of the Federal 22s i cant wait to test em out

[@314299]

Should do well for you, Federal .22 ammo seems to be consistently accurate.

[@bill84345]

Great video would of been nice if you would of have done a summary sheet . I'll view the video again and make my own and put a cost to them so you can select bullet by cost and accuracy

[@314299]

It never even occurred to me to do something like that. Apparently I like being long and drawn out!

[@bill84345]

The video was good just a summary sheet would of helped for ammo select if the most accurate wasn't what you wanted

[@svernwarunos546]

Sucks the canadiantire in woodbrige ontario stop selling ammo used to get good deals on 7.62x39 barnaul when it was available.

[@karlschultz4138]

Did you clean your barrel between groups? I've been looking for a target grade 22 for a while that does not break the bank. Down to this (which I only found last night) and a savage Mark II heavy barrell. How is the trigger on the 522?

[@314299]

No, I do not clean between groups, but I do try to fire a few "conditioning" with the ammo to be tested before shooting a group with it. The trigger on the NS522 is quite decent, crisp and not too heavy. Not easily adjustable though.

[@skateboardingchamps]

i have a pack of the imperial IVI ammo its not full but there are some lead ones and some copper hollow points can you tell me if the IVI came in lead?

[@314299]

IVI and Dominion ammo both had the "D" head stamp, I suspect the lead you have is older Dominion produced ammo.

[@luxfair]

excellent review. thank you.

[@314299]

Thanks.

[@rg5252-y2v]

I love the yellow jacket ammo

[@314299]

+Ryan Glowacki Yellow Jacket is the most accurate "hyper velocity" load that I've tried.

[@msgtgb]

Very interesting video!

[@314299]

Thanks, it's a bit longer than I would like but hopefully I did not put anyone to sleep!

[@xsfanning]

I have the same rifle. It shoots way better than a .22lr has any business shooting. I think we may have bought them at the same place. Going Fishing? Mine also likes the Federal Gold Medal and Blazer. I wish I could find new mags for it though. Do you know where they can be purchased?

[@314299]

Mine was bought direct from Canada Ammo. I dont know of any source of spare magazines for the NS522.

[@garyemerson9310]

CZ 452 MAGS FIT STRAIGHT INTO THESE RIFLES😊

[@kevincapote9960]

Thank you so much

[@314299]

No problem.

[@davidwagner4355]

good video keep them coming

[@314299]

Thanks. Shooting videos this time of the year are highly dependent on the weather, which has not been at all nice for the past couple weeks!

[@ronalddavis]

Wolf match target is the same ammo as sk standard plus.Wolf match is the same as sk standard.

[@314299]

That is what I have heard. Up here Wolf ammo is not common, but SK is somewhat more common.

[@regsparkes6507]

If you take the time to do this length of a video,.it must have been worth it,.I thought,...I was NOT sorry that I watched it all. Your testing proves beyond any doubt,.that all .22 ammo. is NOT made equal. By the way what make and model Scope are you using on your rifle.? Soooo I have to do some testing too,.on the best of what you used,.hopefully I can buy this stuff where I live,....now it's up to Canada Post,.to delivery my NS522 as promised,.by June.02.....can't wait ! I have liked and subscribed to this channel as of now. Thanks very much.

[@314299]

Thanks for lasting through this long video, and for subscribing. The scope I have on my NS522 is a cheap one, I think the brand is "Ravage", it was about $40 at my local gun shop, not great but not bad considering the cheap price. I would likie to replace it some day with better glass.

[@regsparkes6507]

314299 Shooting Channel I have received my NS522 from CanadaAmmo,.and only now ( about 2 weeks since received. ) have had the chance to open the box and have a look. First of all, the rifle was wrapped in plastic bagging and coated with light preserving oil,.this is a good thing. I started to clean and inspect the rifle and on closer look, I see that there is a long , ( about 1.5 inch ) 'dent' vertically in the stock right under the breech area,. also there was a .22 bullet stuck part way into the barrel, which I removed with a cleaning rod, after a couple of firm taps. ??? Everything else looks good so far,.but I do plan on chatting the the folks at CanadaAmmo,..to see what they might have to say about this. The package was not dented at all so the stock damage had to be prior to packaging. As for the bullet stuck in the barrel, this is another matter. Of course no one would ( should) ever fire any rifle without checking the bore for just such an obstruction. But I thought it odd to find this. I have never seen this in a new rifle before. I will let you know what the folks say. So far though. looks like a nice rifle, we'll see.

[@314299]

Both those things were probably that way when the gun left China, one thing the Chinese dont do well is quality control, good thing you took the time to do an inspection prior to any shooting.

[@regsparkes6507]

314299 Shooting Channel You are correct, no doubt. I was thinking afterwards,.that where the rifle was so well packaged,.it must have been a factory issue. I am not complaining, mind you, but I though I'd mention it as a safety issue more than anything. Certainly no big deal. The NS522 is a nice looking rifle for sure, and I sure would recommend to anyone to order one as soon as they can. Thanks for replying too. Cheers

[@CROSSFIRE_TACTICS_SOFIA]

Super pro video....

[@314299]

Thanks.

[@SargeZone]

enjoying these .22 tests, i did some tests as well at 50 m if you wanna watch them on my channel, using a Anschütz 1903 single shot bolt rifle.could use a cameraman and good videoeditor though, heh. keep the good stuff coming, thumbs up from Denmark.
