I suspect that if I have both laquered/polymer coated ammo and Silver Bear zinc plated, I would be better off using the laquer/polymer stuff in my 74's and the Silver Bear in my AR.

What say the hive?

Lacquer, poly & silver bear all run fine in S&W and BA 5.45 AR upper.  Only problems i had occurred with short (55 gr HP & SP) bullets.

Do you have less stickiness with the Silver Bear?

Only issue I have with 5.45 thru my AR is Wolf, occasionally sticks in the chamber even when it's clean. But I see no difference between Silver Bear or Monarch when it comes to extraction.

I really like silver bear 5.45.  But really the only thing I have run into a whole bunch of dead primers on one spam can recently.  Of the 200 rounds I have attempted to fire about 20 dead primers.

Not noticeably, but as dirty as Russian ammo is an AR chamber  needs extra TLC  when shooting it.

Some folks have needed a stronger hammer spring to set off the surplus stuff.
