Perovskite-like bulk La_1/3Nd_1/3Ca_1/3MnO_3 is prepared by solid phase reaction method. The temperature dependence of the magnetization and the relationship between CMR effect and sintering have been studied. The CMR is up to 673.9% under 1 T applied magnetic field and 100 K temperature, and that also reaches 93.5% in 0.2 T and 100 K.
