When ammo of any type was hard to find, I picked up a case of Silver Bear .45ACP. Having fired maybe 80ish rounds I noticed a few things:
1) Wear/abrasions on the feed ramp, looks like an area of roughness where it used to be smooth. I have fired a lot of rounds from other manufacturers. Apart from a consistent failure to feed Remington Golden Sabre rounds, the pistol eats almost anything. I have never seen such an area of roughness where the bullet/case mouth move up the feed ramp.
2) What appears to be a scratch in the surface of the feed ramp. Again, something I've never seen before despite sending a lot of CCI, Win, Rem, Federal, Cor-Bon, etc. down the barrel.
3) Rather "warm" loadings. While not of the same level as Buff. Bore's +P loads, the noise, muzzle blast, and recoil feel significantly heavier than other "target" .45ACP loads I have fired.
Anybody else have those issues with Silver Bear?
