Silver Bear Ammo, Any Good?

[GeneCC]

I've used it in my P-64. After fifty rounds no failures to feed, no failures to fire, extracting clean with both the factory stock recoil spring and a Wolf 22 pound recoil spring. Very clean burning.

Groups at 25 yards with two hand hold were about five inches across. I'm still learning the trigger.

Silver Bear is a handsome looking round, it uses a more modest form of nickle plating, I think either zinc or tin plating. I'd be proud to have made it myself.

Definitely I will to buy more, more so at $100 per 1,000.

Perhaps you didn't notice that you revived a 4 yr old thread?

Really? Yeah, I just noticed that now.

Oh well. Maybe someone will find what I posted useful. Or not.

i have used it in 556 in an ak rifle and my sig 556. anyone else notice the ammonia smell with this ammo?

btw, it ran flawless through both rifles.

Never used it, but always wondered if the plating flakes off and gets to the internals??

I have used it in my 5.45x39 Ar with no issues.

Just my experience, the stuff is really dirty, but shoots great.

Bought 1000 rounds from Militaryshooters a while ago and never had a failure.
