STAY AWAY!
STAY AWAY! Tried the Bear a couple of years ago when they first came out. For the first time in my life I left a box of ammo behind on purpose. I never used them again. Stick to Wolf. |

Thought that Wolf was a little rough on AR and 1911 extractors? |

Wolf is steel cased and probably a little rough. The Bear appears to be steel cased and steel jacketed, and doesn't extract at all (at least for 100% of the people I know who've used it, which is 2). |

the steel is softer than brass. Look at the poly coat after you shoot it, you won't see even a mar in the coat from the extractor. If it's not hitting the extractor hard enough to mar the coating, it's not hitting it hard enough to damage it. |

I use Bear in my Mosin Nagant and my Makarov's. It works good in them and is non-corrosive and cheep. I'm not sure I would use it in another guns then the comm-block designs.
Wolf in an AR seems fine. Lots use Wolf with no problems. I think it has been said that the steel case Wolf uses is close to being as soft as brass. |
