    Travis, I've had good luck with it in my Bushmaster. The 55gr rounds work best, the 62gr rounds have a long OAL and don't feed well unless they are all the way to the back of the magazine (hit mag against helmet, maybe twice). Other than that they are better than Wolf as far as performance and clean burning. I also had good luck with Barnaul. I have a little Silver Bear ammo left, next Phx outing you're welcome to try some

    I can honestly say its good ammo, I bought some for myself and could not believe the accuracy,reliability and how consistently it grouped.Now a bunch of my friends are useing it with the same results.I look for the price to go up.Its really good clean ammo.

    I have heard too much bad about Wolf to buy any. I have some S&B which I'm happy with and glad to hear others' good reports about Silver Bear. I have some perfectly good Norinco too, by the way.

    I routinely shoot both Wolf and Silver Bear ammo (which ever is on sale) through my SKS, and frankly see no difference between them.
