The zinc coatings gotta go, it fouls the heck out of the barrel after a while, its cleaned out pretty easily by running some copper jacketed bullets through her but still. Other than that the stuff is accurate, reliable and the new powder is pretty clean. Its as accurate as any bulk domestic ammo and for $159 per 1000 I guess there has to be a trade off. Just picked up some brown bear for $159 per 1k, will see if its any better. We've been running through 1k rounds a month of 9mm alone between my son and I so price is a big consideration.

I've ran a ton of Brown and Silver bear. I like the lacquer coating on the Brown Bear better than the zinc on the Silver Bear and much better than the polymer coating on Wolf.

Hopefully the next 4 years will bring more cheap 9mm options. Maybe 9mm under $100 per 1k like the good old days, wishfull thinking anyway.

Tulammo is just on the verge of being excellent (for cheap ammo), they just need to fix that plating.

I love Tulammo 9mm.

I don't clean my guns very often so I haven't checked out the fouling haha.

BrownBear has been shooting hot lately. I was getting 1325fps average out of my threaded G19. Feels like a .40..

I saw your video, very well done. I received a case of brown bear yesterday and got a failure to fire on the first box with my g43. Other than that is was really good,lol. I imagine the 43 has a weaker hammer spring than the full sized pistols. I'll reserve judgement till I use the whole case.

I've noticed that as well. They aren't skimping on powder with the Bear ammo.

Yup that's what I've been getting as well with the brown bear, has some good firepower behind it, and I can feel the difference when I mix in other brands..

Shooting that brown bear through my G43 gives it some nice recoil

That Ruski 115gr ball with its steel jacket and high FPS does well on soft armor FYI. I'm gonna grab some soon.

That's true, I just wish they would use a powder that didn't smell like cat pee. I can't put my pistols back in the safe after shooting without cleaning or that smell infiltrates the whole safe. I haven't tried the Tula. I guess does it have the same smell?

With the price of the Bears coming down and possibly even significantly more in the future, it's getting harder to realize any real savings reloading 9mm anymore. The only benefit is what loading you want to make.

Tis true. I still reload. But I get to have my 147 grain bullet for less (even if it's a little bit) than even steel cased ammo. I still keep a deep pile of various brands of steel cased 9mm though. And there are places around here I can't shoot steel cased at, even for IDPA matches so it's nice to have a stock of brass cased reloads at hand.

I've never noticed the cat pee smell when shooting it even indoors so can't comment on that.

Wow ! 1325 fps, that's hot. I would think that could cause damage to a smaller non +P rated pistol. A 115 FMJ at 1325 fps, is that in +P+ range ?

Yeah it was really hot. Wolf on the other hand was very soft shooting.

I'm not sure if it's +P+ range. I just shoot standard pressure.
