golden bear or silver bear ?

[jimbos44]

I bought some golden bear 62gn ammo . Shoots good, but what's the difference between the 2 ?

There's actually 3

Golden Bear: Brass plated steel cased
Silver Bear: Zinc plated steel cased
Brown Bear: Lacquered steel cased

That's the difference between the 3. Some have criticized the Brown Bear for leaving lacquer in chambers. There are some criticisms against Silver Bear for having poor moisture resistance. Otherwise the 3 are virtually identical.

The difference between all the "bears" is the case construction only, and I'd like to imagine tolerances and quality control in construction, but from what I've seen/heard only case construction. Brown bear is laquered steel, silver bear is polished steel? aluminum? and golden bear is brass iirc... I have been wrong once before though...
