Value for cheap shooting
Review by Brian -
With older guns having weaker slide springs Brown Bear Ammo functions fine, How ever a newer gun with stiffer springs tends to not have enough gas pressure to work the bolt. Cheap to plink. But not something I would put in a weapon for defense. (Posted on 10/9/11)Ammo Performance Bargain? Reliable? -
Worth the money
Review by Rainman -
Bought this ammo for my 92fs and had zero malfunctions. Ammo is pretty accurate and had no problems with firing it at an indoor range as i had read somewhere. I did however feel the rounds ejecting slugishly after a while due to the heating laquer, also it burns pretty dirty for me which isnt a problem if your good at keeping up with the cleaning of your guns. This is a perfect training round cheap reliable accurate. (Posted on 9/8/11)Ammo Performance Bargain? Reliable? -
it's ok
Review by ray -
my taurus 92 doesn't like it much. this is the only ammo that causes stove pip malfunctions. I even tried multiple magazines and extra cleaned the feed ramp. except for this, brown bear works fine and a bargain for plinking at the range but not for competition fire (Posted on 8/25/11)Ammo Performance Bargain?

Just a little suggestion. Sorry if I leave this in a wrong place

I hope you guys (bulkammo) can ship this box of 500 rds without the sticker on the side so that not everyone is going to know that this box contains ammo. My neighborhood is bad now, and that's why I start using handgun. On the other hand, I also get worried when the box got dropped on my door step. Some stupid crackheads actually jumped the fence. Just a normal brown box would be sufficient. (Posted on 8/21/11)Ammo Performance Bargain? Reliable? -
Best value
Review by AnhThangFL -
Bought 500 rounds for less than a hundred bucks. The bullet does not look shiny, but it does resemble the name Brown Bear. I've fired 200 rounds and no misfire. The shells does not feel as hot as others when their ocassional hits against my arms after ejection. Most of other ammo I've fired, they have 2 holes at the bottom of the shell, where the primer was. However, all of Brown Bear I've fired, they all have 3 holes. That's cool. (Posted on 8/21/11)Ammo Performance Bargain? Reliable? -

I fired about 200 rounds of these one evening and they did really good. No misfires and they ejected really well. Great product. (Posted on 8/2/11)Reliable? Ammo Performance Bargain?

Q: Can these casings be reloaded?
Posted On: 10/20/11 By: Ryan
A: No, these Brown Bear 9mm cases cannot be reloaded. They're made with steel cases, which are not good for reloading.
Q: i have used this ammo a lot and i am fairly happy with it had 2 failure to fire out of about 500 rounds for the price thats not bad i supose for target ammo how ever i was wondering if this company makes a hollow point or a hydra-shock that is simmularly priced to other hollow points or hydra-shock as thier plain target ammo is to other target ammo i have not been able to find any if so do you carry it or can you get it thank you for your time

A: No - at this time, Brown Bear manufactures only FMJ 9mm ammunition.
Q: What is the deference in performance of Steel and Brass cases
Posted On: 9/27/11 By: Joe Deal
A: The biggest difference for this type of ammo is that the steel has little residual value and effectively cannot be reloaded. Steel cases also do not expand and contract like brass, so a small percentage of firearms may have issues extracting steel cases. However, the majority of modern handguns will function perfectly with steel cased ammo.
