I have been seeing the New Republic 5.56 at gun shows, but was a little skeptical about buying it, considering some of the ammo sales are scalpers 😂😂 and I can still find other brands at my local gun stores cheaper. I will await your range test before i consider buying it
The Norma Tac and New Republic perform about the same, the only thing I notice is Norma casing is visually more appealing (brass been polished to mirror finish) and head stamp is much more clearer than NP. I had shoot Norma 9mm and 5.56 and .223 rem and I can tell you it perform flawless in a semi auto. No problem with New Republic either, neither is a accuracy round so I don't expect exceptional accuracy. Even let say Norma has better accuracy it will be negligible, it not like 3 MOA vs sub MOA. I had stocked both ammo, the Norma I bought when they offered in a milspec ammo can and New Republic when the last labor day sale. $370 from Targetsport USA. Oh yeah screw them Ammo scalpers who buy and resell them for much much higher price (7.62x39 I am looking at you).
