Customer Reviews - Golden Bear Ammunition
Golden Bear ammunition is frequently praised for its good value and affordability, with many reviewers highlighting it as a solid choice for practice or recreational shooting. Most users report reliable function, with rounds generally feeding and firing well. Several reviewers mention good performance and accuracy within typical range distances, though only a few conducted detailed accuracy tests. However, there are occasional reports of feeding or ejection issues, such as rounds jamming or getting stuck in the chamber, especially during more extended use, and some caution against using it in situations where high reliability is essential. Cleanliness is not often mentioned, and consistency is generally seen as acceptable for the price. Overall, Golden Bear is viewed as a cost-effective option mainly suited for training and casual shooting, with some reliability concerns noted.
It’s 2021 and ammo is still scarce but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun. These rounds go down the pipe that’s about all you’ll need them to do.
Golden Bear uses steel cases with a brass-colored zinc coating (brass-washed). Despite the brass appearance, the underlying case is steel. This means it will attract a magnet and is not reloadable, but the coating provides better corrosion resistance than bare steel.
Will Golden Bear set off range magnets?
Yes. Since Golden Bear uses steel cases (despite the brass coloring), they will be attracted to magnets. Many indoor ranges that prohibit steel-cased ammunition will detect Golden Bear with their magnet test. Check with your range before bringing this ammunition.
How does Golden Bear compare to Brown Bear?
Both are made at the Barnaul plant with similar projectiles and powder charges. The main difference is the case treatment: Golden Bear uses brass-washed steel while Brown Bear uses lacquer-coated steel. Golden Bear tends to cost slightly more due to the additional processing step.
