Silver Bear .223 (Range Report)

[Pete]

The girls, one of the boyfriends and I spent a few good hours up at the Rod & Gun Club Range this moring. Lots of friendly/polite people on the range, all the tables full but not crowded.

The girls and friend had a good time plinking with the .22s. This was the first time he had been to a range and he shot pretty good. Groups almost as good as the girl's.

We finished up with the AR15 and fired 120 rounds of the Silver Bear .223. I had picked up two spam cans at a good price and planned on using it for plinking. The girls and I had no problems with our rounds but the boyfriend had one failure to eject while on the bench and twice while standing.

All three times the case failed to come far enough back to spin out the port and the bolt cycled forward and jammed the case. Easy fix for me but as it was his first time I had to assist each time.

Hmmm. Until I burn through some more of this on the range and report back my ready magazines will have Lake City loaded in them.
