Details
For shooters who want decent range ammo that is cost-effective, this Silver Bear .45 ACP ammo is the way to go.
These Russian-made cartridges are steel-cased and topped with a 230gr full metal jacket (FMJ) projectile. The steel casings are coated with zinc which makes them durable and resistant to corrosion so they hold up in long-term storage. This Berdan-primed ammo is a good disposable option for shooters who are not interested in reloading their casings. The heavy 230gr projectile produces a muzzle velocity of 886 fps and features a non-magnetic lead core.
The Bear ammo brand sprouted up in the late 1800's and is currently manufactured by the Barnaul Cartridge Plant in Barnaul, Russia. The quality of their ammunition has improved over the years, and this .45 ACP is a great ammo to start with if you are new to Russian-manufactured ammo.

The Silver Bear 45acp works great in my Colt Series 70 & 80, plus my Taurus Millennium G2, compact. No FTF or FTE in 300 Rds. It stays in the black at twenty yards. (Posted on 11/13/2016)
At least one malfunction per magazine

Shame on me for running a cheap ammo through my HK45. For one, this is the dirtiest ammo I have ever shot, period. The gun starts to get gummed up pretty quickly. Any bulk ammo will struggle with accuracy, but the inconsistency is maddening. I always finish my time at the range with a match grade ammo and the accuracy difference is real. My biggest complaint is that this ammo struggles to properly cycle my handgun. The gun fails to go into battery regularly with this ammo - to the tune of one malfunction per 10 round magazine. I have put 1k rounds of the American Eagle through this gun with zero malfunctions. This ammo comes at a great price but it's just a bit too cheap for my taste.
Pros: every round went boom, great price
Cons: didn't fully cycle my gun way too regularly, exceedingly dirty ammo. (Posted on 10/10/2016)

I bought 500 rounds of Silver Bear .45ACP when it got to a really good price. It's Russian ammo, so I was expecting a few duds here and there. Hadn't used it before so I didn't know what to expect. Worst money I've ever spent on ammo. This stuff should have a "BUYER BEWARE" tag. Absolute garbage. I'm a Marine as well as LEO, and I was shooting this SB through a Glock 21, which to that point, I had NEVER had a misfire with. In a 13rnd mag, I'd have to recharge the gun about every 5-7 shots because of a mushy trigger during firing. Absolute garbage ammo. Shot an entire box of American Eagle in the middle of its disaster just for reference, and 50rnds, not one problem. Not sure what powder the Russians are using, or in what quantity, but this ammo, in a word, sucks. Worst money I've spent in awhile. (Posted on 9/16/2016)

While it's a good price my H&K did not like this ammo. About every third round FTF. It was very dirty as well. I have heard a lot of things about this ammo most of it negative but I could have dealt with the grim but not with so many issues. (Posted on 11/24/2015)

After about 50 rounds, my XDS begins to jam, the trigger doesn't reset, one time it jammed so bad, I could not eject the shell until several manual attempt. Very dirty also. No problems with my Colt Combat Commander though. (Posted on 9/21/2014)
