| Just pulled the trigger on 700 rounds of Silver Bear .223...never bought or shot steel case ammo in my AR before. Did I make a mistake or will it be fine for range/practice/plinking ammo? |

Silver Bear seems to be less stick prone, BUT are you really practicing if the ammo sucks for accuracy? Also most of the Russian Crap is inconsistent and slow... |

And if it's not inconsistent and slow, it's inconsistent and hot. You can certainly hear the difference between some rounds.
3 moa at best. Here is a pole and the responses about silver bear. Really, as long as you're going for ringing steel at a max of 200m, you'll be just fine. ETA: If anything, it'll tell you pretty quick whether or not your gun can run the steel cased ammo. Some AR's do okay, some dont'. |

I'd love to shoot the sweet goodness you help make everyday, but I just can't afford enough of it. 3 MOA trigger time is better than no trigger time I guess, plus it can help me practice malfunction drills as a bonus!  . Unless you want to hook me up with some good stuff Kerry!
