So here is the deal: My mini 30 is sighted in for Barnaul (Silver & Brown Bear) soft points and I am satisfied with the accuracy for hunting at ranges out to 200 yards. My intent was to practice, plink and stock the imported stuff for a rainy day then buy some decent domestic stuff for deer...

Please compare and contrast the Golden Bear and Silver Bear 7.62x39 ammo. Would like to hear about reliability and accuracy. Is one preferable over the other in a Mini? For a frame of reference I hope to be shooting them in a Mini 30 Tactical. Thanks.
