| what do you al think of silver bear ammo. i got some in a trade and so far it seems ok. |
Not always - if the ammo is undercharged, the bolt doesn't cycle all the way. The bolt catch can either catch the carrier or not catch at all. The bolt carrier needs to go far back for the catch to catch at the bolt face (not the bolt carrier itself). I have run into this problem using Wolf 55 gr JHP on my AR-15. XM193 cycles fine |

ok, gotcha. so silver bear and wolf are slightly down on power compared to nato spec stuff? aimsurplus has 55gr fmj silver bear for 150 bucks a thousand(hollow point 62 gr is 115 per thousand), they have british mil spec surplus for about the same price (900rounds). would the surplus be the better buy? i assume the bear doesnt frag like nato stuff. http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/_223.html |
