This was the only time I ever had a problem with Silver Bear. I had read that they are better than some of the other 9x18mm Mak manufacturers out there.

mylife told me about a batch of Silver Bear ammo he had that had an improper 5.56 NATO round mixed in with the correct size. Poor quality control.

Maybe it was just a fluke. I have run somewhere between 1000 to 1500 rounds of Silver Bear through my CZ before this happened. However, that one bad round cost me a pistol. (Good thing CZs are built sturdy. It didn't blow up on me.)

I think I might pay a little more for ammo if I find a manufacturer that has a good reputation for quality control.

Other than Brown Bear/Silver Bear, Sellier and Bellot is about the only company that makes inexpensive Mak ammo.

Sieller and Belloit or Privy Partisan for 9x18 ammo.
