Silver Bear ammo

**Animalmother** · 03-18-2009 07:11 PM

With the weather finally breaking here in Michigan, I've decided to take my M1917 to the range tomorrow. I bought a few boxes of Silver Bear ammo a few weeks ago. The box claims non-corrosive and I haven't really found anything in contrary on the net. Anyone else ever shot it? At $6 a box, seems a good deal for plinking. Should be sufficient for 100-yard shooting.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Yes its non-corrosive but you will find its dirty ammo (leaves a lot of carbon in your barrel) its the same stuff as Wolf, Brown Bear, Barnaul. If I remember right they are all owned by Barnaul.

Are you not signed up with the CMP icon

? You really cant beat the price of the HXP and its pretty good stuff.

Thanks Irishsteve. The flag is actually the U.S. Customs Ensign (same as Coast Guard, minus the CG seal).
