This stuff is cheaper then Wolf from Centerfire,and the Silver is the same price.

I hear good things...pay the extra to get the silver bear it feeds easier for only $10 more per 1,000

I love AIM, but www.ammunitiontogo.com has a better price on it.

nm there price is the same unless buying 1,000 then they are $10 cheaper. This stuff is reported to be much cleaner then Wolf.

+1 silver bear

[Rightwinger]

Get it

[Reservoir Dog]

Brown Bear is good stuff.

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Brown Bear is good stuff.

+1

While both are good quality, I choose Brown Bear over Silver Bear because the Silver Bear's zinc plated cases seem to oxidize alot faster than the standard Brown Bear steel case. Admittedly, probably not a big deal unless you're doing waterborn incursions.

I've shot about 1500 rounds of .223 Brown Bear 55gr FMJ through my issued Bushy and personal RRA...zero malfunctions.

When I have to buy .223 practice ammo, it's Brown Bear.

I hate hijacking people's topic ... but how is Brown Bear 9mm? I bought 1000 rds Wolf 9mm and it worked fine through my Glock 19. I used the Wolf for a handgun class where we used 500 rounds and not one misfire. Is Brown Bear comparable to Wolf?

[Guest jth_3s]

+1 Brown Bear is Awesome! I run it through my AR and my G17

Brown Bear is better than Wolf.

In our last Defensive Pistol class, we had someone run approx 1000 Brown Bear through a S&W M&P 9mm with zero malfunctions.

[musicman]

Yay!! An M&P goes through 1,000 rds with no problems!!

And here I figured Tungsten would be the one to jump on that...

Kidding aside, the M&P is a great gun, I just think that S&W lets too many out of the factory that don't work...their lemon ratio (everyone has one) seems to be a little high.

Then again, their customer service is about the best in the industry.

Do they charge for shipping? I bought 1000 rds of 9mm from ammoman.com and shipping is "free". If I were to buy 1000 rds from amunitiontogo.com and they charge $20 or more, then it's not worth it, I'll buy from ammoman.

Thanks

i've ran a few hundred rds of brown bear .223 through a bushy, a dpms, and my rock river and had 0 issues out combine orders....good price and I need to stock up some more on .223

[Guest canynracer]

nm?

hey...keep up!!

NEVERMIND

[Guest Astra900]

Well, I'm the stick in the mud I guess. I hate silver bear with a passion. TO my sorry eyes it looks too much like a nickel plated brass case. So I bend over to pick it up {ohh my back!} only to find out it's steel...GGGGrrrr then the profanity begins
