    good

  • Big John said:

    This is not the first 1000 rounds I've bought of this ammo. Never had a misfire, fairly clean burn and accurate. I'll be back for more when this is gone.

  • Scott2333 said:

    A++++++++

  • Jimbillyjoebob said:

    I feed this ammo to my AK on a regular basis and it never has choked on it yet. It is not the cleanest burning, but for the money you can't beat it.

    Ammo arrived in very professional packaging and when I took it out shooting it shot flawlessly

  • deadeye45 said:

    Nothing negative to say..goes bang every time, great price and got it fast and it was christmas week like I said no cons

  • Smurf said:

    Great. Affordable.

  • JtAlmond said:

    I have the 125 SP loading for my Madi. It kicks a bit harder than a lot of other stuff and it does massive damage on medium sized game animals.

  • ratso said:

    I have used this ammo for about ten years now hunting whitetails. I have dropped 220lb bucks with one shot kills. This year dropped a nice 8 point at 225 yrds. with 123grn sp wolf steel case out of a 16" POF Ar.p. so much for those who think 762x39 isnt a very good deer round and so much for people who think wolf steel case ammo is not very good!

  • Bubba said:

    You can not go wrong getting product from this company. Had got my order in 2 days. Would recommend to everyone.

  • Harry said:

    would not jam in a AR47 or AK47 great ammo need more plz....

  • b said:

    Not much to say. 500 rds..through my sks. 2 FTE''s reasonably priced,came in 3 days,and I can shoot at the local range. Great ammo..great service...Thanks!!

  • BB said:

    This ammo fired consistently accurate groups out of my KR 103. It came in a nice packaging with a plastic bullet holder that will be useful for reloading, and all at a decent price. I recommend it and will be buying more.

  • Al G said:

    Shot great groups. No misfires. Will buy more

  • M60Gunnr said:

    I've never been satisfied with the accuracy of my SKS. I know it's limitations, yet I thought we could do better. We just did. The Silver Bear ammo consistently grouped tighter and closer to my point of aim than the Tula or Wolf ammo. It's not as easy to find as the other Russian ammo, and usually costs a buck or two more per box. Take the time and spend the extra money. IMHO, the only step up is the expensive "match rounds" (i.e. Winchester). That'll get you a marginal increase in accuracy for double the cost. The Bear line, made in the Barnaul plant, is simply the best choice.

  • Michael Anthony said:

    if you have an AK just shoot the lacquered stuff.. if you have an AR this is the best stuff i've seen besides american brass. very clean and easy on your carbine the metal is softer than milspec receivers and much much softer than your barrel. this is actually true with most steel cased ammo however this hasn't even scratched the finish on the receiver after 180 rounds that ran flawlessly on an AR15 pistol chambered in 7.62x39.

  • Matthew said:

    Best prices and fastest shipping around. Thanks guys!

  • Andrew said:

    The Wolf 125 gr SP is very effective on deer and hogs. Accurate and performs well in harvests within 100 yards, according to my experience. No feeding or failure to fire issues encountered when used in BCA 7.62x39 AR platforms. Same trouble free operation and effectiveness in PSA, VSKA types as well. Great choice for hunting.

  • James Bond Bennett said:

    Great value for money ! Same quality you find in a more expensive round.

  • BigD said:

    This ammo is waaaaayyyy overpriced

  • derek said:

    loaded the magazine and it wouldnt cycle a single round. not sure if it the metal or what but bought some local and had no issue

  • Nick said:

    I was unsure about ordering ammo online and having it shipped to my house but this process was very easy and simple. Absolutely no issues getting my order delivered and the ammo has been running smoothly through my rifle. I definitely recommend coming here to get what you need.
