Anybody else shot any of the stuff I bought a case for an at and it shoots half way decent in my 223 bolt gun I was shooting 389 yards with a 15 mph crosswind

I doubt you'll find many of us shooting that through a bolt gun...
 
So far - that’s been the most accurate and consistent ammo I can find for my AR chambered in 5.45x39. I haven’t tried that brand in any other calibers yet.
 
It looks like it shoots well enough for a truck gun! Cheap ammo (when it was around) as well.

Just curious- what pushed you to chamber an AR in that?
 
^^ Is it that common though compared to 223? I can't say i've ever seen someone shoot it.

It’s not as common as .223, but anybody that makes 7.62x39 usually makes 5.45x39 too. Just always steel cased:

I mean, I've had that thought. Built a good AR in 5.45 and if shit the fan, and I was able to stay alive long enough behind enemy lines to run out of 308 and 223, then I have no problem picking up whatever I can get my vile hands on to use.
 
I was given 500 rounds after the 10th misfire I gave it away as well, good luck with it

I haven’t ever had a misfire or problem with Silver Bear yet. Wolf and Tullammo I have plenty.
7N6 has been rock solid too..... it just requires immediate cleaning because it’s corrosive.
 
I had not heard of it in years.
about 10 years ago everything I listed in the FS section this idiot would immediately pm me about trading Silver Bear ammo for it. I think he did it to everyone who listed anything.
Later another guy was doing the same thing with Norma .22 LR Ammo.
