	Great Deal - 2/9/2013	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases5.0000
Reviewer:	Kbland

Just shot the whole case (500 rds) with another friend, using different rifles. These rounds did as well as Remington or Hornady. 1in grouping at 100 yards. Weapons used were Bushmaster and Armalite. No misfires or FTF, great rounds at a great price. Will buy again.

Reviewer:	Rick

I purchased 500 rounds and shot about 100of them, without any issues. Now I am starting to reload my own ammo but will have no problem shooting the rest of these.

Reviewer:	JB

Just shot almost the whole case (500 rds) with three other friends, using four different rifles. These rounds cycled as well as Remington or Hornady. Weapons used were two Bushmasters, one Colt, and one Armalite. No problems, great rounds. If you are not feeding, check your mags.

Reviewer:	GA Gunner

I bought this strictly on price to start. I put 100 rounds through my Mini-14 at 100 yards after sighting my scope. All in the 10 ring. Ordered another 1000 rounds right away.

I have used this in my XCR-l. Had to turn gas up one setting, then it was OK. No problems with it. Shot just fine. May buy again.

Reviewer:	TMHonfire102

If your AR-15 jams up on this ammo, it is your gun, not the ammo. I have fired thousands of rounds of this stuff and never had one issue, like most of the others have said. Will buy more!

Reviewer:	mzieg

Needed something cheap and fast to get one more shoot in before I moved. I shot this ammo slow, fast, and with my Slidefire with no problems thru two rifles (Spike's Tactical and DPMS) and both ate it up.

	Very Satisfied - 10/13/2012	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases5.0000
Reviewer:	DRM

Purchased this ammo because of the other positive feedback. Fired several 30 round mags through a STAG Model 3, both with the factory mag and the Magpul mags, with no misfires or loading issues. The grouping is very satisfactory at 100 yards and beyond. The price is excellent. I will continue to purchase this ammo.

Reviewer:	ZGF

Fired 300 rounds at the range. No jams or problems. Accuracy was good. No dents or defects so far.

Reviewer:	chuck

I've ordered a thousand rounds of this ammunition for my "Zompocalypse" stash. Finally managed to make it to my favorite shooting facility for a few days. I put about 200 rds of it through my Rock River M4gery today. With the Aimpoint, it's more than capable of keeping to headshots out to 100. With a 10X Super Sniper scope, it will stay in a one-minute group - usually. I have noticed that there is an unexplained flyer every 30 or 40 rounds, but for what it is, nothing to fret over. Shoots flat, without any elevation changes to either Aimpoint or scope. You can use "RCH" holdover out to 300. That's good enough for anyone. This is not match ammo. It IS, however, more consistently accurate than the 62 gr. green tip surplus U.S. stuff by about one MOA. No deformities, no blemishes, the lacquered cases have no feed or extraction issues. I'll load my own "match" ammo, but I will be ordering another couple thousand of these for the aforementioned zombie infestation.

Reviewer:	rifle_shooter

Shot off 20 rounds yesterday with my Bushmaster. It wouldn't cycle. Had to fix a jam every 2 or 3 shots. Was trying to hit tin cans at about 160 yards and didn't hit a single one. I would've drilled them at 200 yards with Lake City ammo because I've done it many times before. Trying to sell it to someone else now.

Reviewer:	laddog

Ordered from CTD. Got it very quickly. Shot several boxes at the range through my S&W M&P15, and just like the rest of the reviews, I had no FTE or FTF. Will order more soon.

	no problems, good ammo - 9/16/2012	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases5.0000
Reviewer:	Dale R.

Bought 500 rounds of this ammo after reading other reviews. My only concern was the lacquer coating, but the ammo was great. No FTEs, no FTFs, and it worked great every single time. Pretty accurate, also. I would definitely buy this again. CTD also got it to me fast. Thanks CTD and Bear ammo!

	Shoots fine - 9/3/2012	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases4.0000
Reviewer:	Jon

I bought 500 rounds of this to keep as practice ammo, and fired 20 through my M&P15 with aluminum mag with no-tilt follower. No problems whatsoever with functionality, seemed reasonably accurate, but I wasn't testing for that. Not especially dirty. Visually, the rounds looked fine, no dings, etc. Minus one bullet for non-reloadable case. Would buy more for practice/stockpile ammo.

Reviewer:	Chris

I could write up a long post, but that has already been done. Plain and simple... over 2,000 rounds through my S&W M&P 15T... not a single problem! I will continue to purchase this ammo for the range!

	Update... - 8/12/2011	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases5.0000
Reviewer:	FI11

Update... Just shot 1000 rounds of this stuff in a patrol rifle (AR-15) class. Not a single malfunction of any type. Every single round chambered, fired, extracted and ejected with ease. Accuracy was outstanding. We were required to make head shots (in the small "credit card" scoring area) at 25 yds and hit steel man-sized targets out to 300 yds (all done with back-up iron sights). The ammo had all the accuracy needed for both tasks. All I can say on the negative is that I had 3 flyers I know were not operator error that opened a group up to about 4" during the class. I can live with the 3 flyers out of 1000 in a training situation for the huge savings over brass cased ammo.

	A Pleasant Surprise - 7/30/2011	Ammo .223 Rem. Brown Bear FMJ 55 Grain 500 Round Case 3050 fps Lacquer Coated Steel Cartridge Cases5.0000
Reviewer:	FI11

This was my 1st batch of Brown Bear. I got 500 rds, just to see if it would be at even the low end of acceptable for training. Due to past horror stories about foreign steel cased ammo, I hand inspected every round. Not a single dent, blemish, high primer, etc.. So far so good. Off to the range. I selected a genuine Colt 16.1" AR pattern rifle that I know to be Sub-MOA if the ammo and I each do our part. I was limited to our 25Yd pistol range, but it was all I could get on at the time. I fired a 3 shot string and grabbed my binos to see how it did. I was surprised to see one ragged hole (Only 25Yds, but seeing how I had the initial impression most of this "cheap" foreign ammo shoots around corners, I was happy). I shot another string and got the same results. I next loaded some read deal LC M193 and fired a 3 shot string to see if the point of impact would differ from the Bear brand. The M193 shot to the same point of impact as Bear. I next loaded up 90 rds of it in some off brand 30 rd magazines (wanted to give the the Brown Bear "every opportunity to fail"). I fired at varied rates until 90 rds were gone. Not a single hiccup of any type. I don't have the qualifications to speak to the claims that mild steel cases are "bad" for a rifle, but I don't see how mild steel acting against a good old AMERICAN made Colt chrome lined chamber will do a lot to the service life. I would do some additional research about long term storage of steel cased ammo if you plan to sock tons of this stuff away for a possible Zombie Apocalypse or similar cataclysmic event. I am a "Buy American" person whenever practical/affordable, so if you have a pot of gold under the bed, please buy the WCC, FC or other good old American name brand ammo and shoot a lot of it often. For us who have a limited ammo budget and want a cartridge that duplicates the performance of the M193, Brown Bear will work just fine.
