Details
Brown Bear 7.62x54R ammo is a military style classic that everyone already knows in the form of the old school milsurp ammunition from the Eastern Bloc from the 1980’s. This is the exact same specification except it is now made with non-corrosive primers and powders, so you can worry a bit less about the extra maintenance that was necessary when you shot the older, dirtier ammunition. It’s still a dirty shooting ammunition it just doesn’t cause instant rust like the older corrosive stuff did. The name is given to the brand line by the maker to denote the lacquer coloration on the outside of the shell casing. The one with the brownish color is called the Brown Bear offering.
It is this lacquer that contributes heavily to the reliable feeding and long-term storage capabilities of the round, given that the underlying material on the cartridge casing is steel. The lacquer helps with feeding and extraction and the build allows for higher pressures because of the steel.
The 174 grain projectile is a proven grain weight and offers exceptional accuracy – after all, this ammunition is still being used as a sniper round in many countries; and has a long and decorated history as a sniper cartridge for many years.
