Brown bear?

[shaun]

i found a website with brown bear polymer coat for 200 bucks a 1000rd. i have a couple hungarina sa-85's. they are the best you can get, so with them being very well made i can get alot better accuracy out of them than most ak's. have you shot this stuff before? accuracy? dirty? any info? thanks

All russian ammo tends be relatively dirty, by commercial US standards, and has an ammonia odor due to different basic powder composition.

You're not going to get the very best accuracy out of any rifle without careful handloads or premium factory loads, but brown bear should make great training, target, and stashing ammo.

I have a few cases of Brown Bear in 7.62x39mm for the reasons listed. My AK will never be a precision rifle so for me I don't really care.

Best group I got out of my Rem 700 .308 with brown bear was about 5/8" at 100 yds center to center.
Not much different from Federal American Eagle.
For my buck I get twice more practice.

decent enough stuff. it is a bit dirty, but in an AK who really cares.

sounds like a decent enough price, go for it.

Sounds good to me. What is the website?

I have used them a lot, a little slow to get things going but product makes it with no problems.

ive shot thousands of rounds of this ammo from a wasr10, not one malfunction. it really made a mess inside the gun but nothing an ak cant handle. good price

I've shot a lot of Brown Bear but I've shot even more Barnaul in .223 and they are actually the same factory and I've never had a problem with either one so I wouldn't worry about it at all.

I got my case. If anyone wants to split it with me, that's fine with me. It came in two 500 round boxes. It was $231 shipped, so I'd sell half for $115. I'm at I-25 and Arapahoe Rd in Centennial.

All my ARs and M16s eat a steady diet of barnaul and brown bear 62gr FMJ.
My 9mm handguns and subguns eat nothing but (formerly) ulyanovsk 124gr NATO, and now brown and silver bear 115gr FMJ.
My AK's get various russian/combloc diets - currently Ulyanovsk for 5.45x39 and Golden Tiger for 7.62x39.

About the only non-russian ammo I shoot is 45ACP, 22LR and 7.62x51.

How does this stuff perform in an SKS?

I use them almost exclusively. Might call me a BS'er but I actually know Bret (one of the owners/workers). Never had a problem ordering or even sending stuff back.

Great.

I bought a 1000rnds of this stuff not too long ago. I've only had one round not fire out of the 500 i've shot so far. I paid about 220 + shipping from cheaper than dirt. It is a little bit on the dirty side but for half what wally world or dicks charges for Remington .223 FMJ's I can deal with the extra cleaning.
