Follow up video to the feeding issue of my AR15 chambered in 7.62x39. Runs great now. It was ammo problem after all.

Depending on the year of mfg. the Silver Bear ammo will either have a nickel plating or Zinc plating.

@NC Gun Guy : Not sure when they dropped the use of Nickel plated cases and went to Zinc. Last time I bought steel case ammo was around ten years ago and it was Zinc then so it probably been awhile.

This is an interesting topic for me. I have not usually had an issue like yours but... I have an odd 9mm Luger that you would say at first glance is a 380 acp. I saved it for about a year now and I plan to do a video on it at some point. I have a caliper and this one is shorter than the average 9mm Luger. I am glad I keep all our rounds separate or is would easily be confused with a 380 acp. Peace To All!

Is it perhaps chambered in 9 x 18mm vice 9x 19mm or 9mm. The 9x18 is very close to a 9 mm but somewhere in between 380 and 9 mm.

@NC Gun Guy : 9 x 18 Mak. is a straight wall case vs. 9 mm which is a tapered case. The 9 x 18 Mak. case is basically 1 mm shorter than the 9 mm case and uses a bullet dia. between .363 to .365 depending on who mfg. the bullets or if your using cast lead. I make all my 9 x 18 case out of once fired 9 mm brass and cast all my own bullets for the cartridge.
