I searched the site in ammo but found no info on BrownBear Ammo 223 62 grain.  The Armory is selling it, has anyone fired it, or heard about it?  Thanks for your input.

I have recently shot a few hundred rounds of it with zero problems.  It's pretty much the exact same round as the old Wolf laquer.

I haven't shot any Brown Bear however, I have shot around 500 rounds of the silver bear.  It works flawlessy in my 20" Colt.  It doesn't work so hot in my 16" Armalite. May just be because for whatever reason that weapon appears to be a little picky with ammo.

I have shot it and had better groupings than with the new Wolf (if you can say groupings ). Stuff smells but goes bang everytime. I had no issues out of the last 2000 or so rounds I fired.
I like it and will keep on using it.

I bought 1k rounds from CTD a month or so back, but I think they are out of it now. Shot great through my BCM M4 upper. More accurate than I excpected but I know some have not had same luck in this regards. Would buy more if I could find it at same price.

For the cheap-as-hell price, it's pretty decent. More accurate than the Monarch 55 gr that I usually plink with, probably because the bullet is longer.

Still makes a big mess in your chamber, and in some rifles the soft points may leave lead on the feed ramps. YMMV
