Brown Bear .223
« on: January 10, 2013, 01:12:38 PM »
Anybody ever buy this stuff? Its pretty darn cheap on Sportsmans guide. $204 per 1000rd.

Just curious whether this stuff is gonna jam up and be worthless.

If it's lacquer coated, I'd stay away from them myself. They don't get very good reviews. You might be one of the lucky ones and not have any problems.  :dunno:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

lacquer becomes an issue when you run it hot.
A DI AR that shoots 20 rds a minute will likely melt the lacquer, and gum up your chamber.
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.”

thinkingman is correct, seen several 45acp pistols ruined from guys shooting the lacquer coated rounds. The lacquer coats the chamber area and can eventually cause scoring in the metal it it is not cleaned out very regularly. I personally wouldn't use them in anything that I valued.  :twocents:

Just make sure if you use it to clean a little more often.
  Or just do not use massive rounds in a semi auto because it will gum
 Them up.Unless your talking AK or SKS they will shoot anything And continue to go Bang!,
