German 7.63x39 Ammo

I aquirred 240 rounds of 7.63x39 for 17.50 at an auction cheaper than ammo prices now and i thought it was a good deal. There is 4 boxes of Norinco manufactured stuff and the rest is German manufactured stuff. The ammo is in white boxes and it states that it is "123 gr. Full Metal Jacket, Lead Core Bullet Berdan-primed, steel case Made in Germany". My question is how good is it and is worth much. I noticed the someone got $30 for 100 rounds of the Norinco on AuctionArms.com - Online Gun Auction. It seems like nice stuff and should function well in my AK.

Norinco is okay blasting ammo, but not tight shooting - about like Wolf.
The white-box German ammo is PRIMO!! My old Norinco SKS loved it - wish I could luck into more of it! It's the best surplus 7.62X39 I have used.

i would like to try out some of that german stuff someday. the germans are all about precision, accept they try to take over the world every 40 or so years(do take that light hearted).
