| I ordered a case of silver bears a few days ago and haven't fired them. I just read where a few places have stopped selling them because of unmentioned problems. What's the deal? |

I've not heard anything... but man, that place had some pretty high prices on their stuff, especially the golden tiger & wolf One almost wonders if the "problem" (which they don't specify) they've had with SB & BB is their prices aren't competitve. Their original ad calls the stuff "nickel-plated" (it isn't, it's zinc) and claims "almost" match grade accuracy. But of a sudden all calibers in those brands are suspect. SB & BB have always shot as good or (often) better than Wolf in most all calibers for me. The BS detector is edging into the red ................. |
I shot some Silver Bear 125gr softpoints this past weekend. They have been loaded in magazines since last August. No corrosion or any other issues. They shot 3 inch groups at 100 yds out of my Arsenal SGL with a red dot. Seems accurate enough for me. Muzzle flash at dusk was quite impressive

Whoever said that is a retard. I took the time to look up the quote to clear everything up since this is the third time I saw someone mention that.... The topic of this post is when is .223 coming in stock at Aimsurplus.com Quoted:
55grn FMJ coming next Silver bear and brown bear is taking a MAJOR price increase April 14th, i doubt i will be buying more after that. And the HP stuff won't be in before that |

I shot approximately 120 rounds this last weekend of SB 7.62. No issues, no FTFs, nothing. Very good groups for an AMD-65. Now I will say one thing that I noticed:
I happened to see that one of the spent shells had a split running down from the neck onto the shoulder of the case. I don't know if that is a big red flag or not, but my brother who was shooting with me did not seem to think it was cause for worry. |
I have shot a lot of both Brown Bear and Silver Bear in 7.62x39 with no problems and great groups, I just ordered 750rds of Silver Bear FMJ in 5.45x39 for my new SGL31-61 that I hope to pickup Wed. 06/08 when the FBI delay times out.
I did stop by Sooner Guns today and Mark let me inspect the rifle.  I can't wait to get it and I think the Ammo. will show up by Wed. also since it's coming from only about 100 miles from me.
