The three Bears

[Midtown Gunner]

Brown Bear, Silver Bear, Golden bear--same manufacturer, different prices.

What are the real differences?

Here is the web site for their US importer, they have links describing all of their ammo:

It's made by Barnaul, all of it is steel cased and berdan primed, just with different coatings on the case (lacquer for brown, zinc for silver, and brass for gold). I don't know how much of a difference the coatings make, I don't shoot steel-cased ammo.

Hey thanks for the info. I was just going to ask that question.

ive used the zinc coated one before. they are GTG! Only thing is that its dirtier compared to the prem' ammo. but then yea its cheap ammo so u cant complain. Also the sealant gets all inside your bolt so you;d have to clean it up real well after a session.
