| Anyone know where there is some available. The only place I find is ammoman and it is Russian hollowpoint(not a fan). Anyway, thanks in advance for the help. |

ammunitionstore.com Killer price on the Barnaul if you buy two or more cases. |

I don't think anyone make 5.45 nickel plated. As for the 5.56 nickel plated, we have sold a small amount. It sells better than the regular steel cased ammo, but most people still tend to stay away from Russian ammo in 5.56. When ever I shoot 5.56 (rarely) and I shoot Russian ammo, I always use Barnaul. I don't see how Russian nickel plated ammo would be any different than American made Nickel plated. As a side note, some of the Silver Bear ammo is now Zinc plated instead of Nickel. |

Well - - - - I must have gone thur about 2000 rounds of the Silver Bear in 5.56 caliber. I like the 62 grain bullet for the steel plate shoots. It has run 110% in my Bushmaster, an Armalite, and a RR "parts gun" and my little SAR-3. I think the most I have ever paid for it is $110 per thousand, out the door, at the local show. Now I have seen it much higher in price, but only get it when it's "on sale". So . . . about $10 per thousand more than Wolf or standard Barnaul. Hope this helps ! ! |
