Anyone know the difference between the Russian Bear Ammo and the Russian Wolf ammo?

Man, I put 300 rounds of that Brown Bear .223 through my Sig 556 once. It was the same greenish hue casing you're describing. I took my gun apart to clean it right afterward and HOLY SHIT, there was that pink lacquer residue all over the place. I was cringing the whole time I was cleaning it. I'm never using that cheap Russian shit again.
If any of you out there have that ammo, I would say use it as your last resort emergency supply in case of a zombie apocalypse (IDK why you would be using .223 against zombies, but whatever) or clean your gun immediately after firing even a single shot.
I may be overreacting and maybe that lacquer shit isn't so bad, but it just looked horrible and it was everywhere.
