I just wanted to post about this ammo before it blows up anyones gun.
I got it from the ammunition store, to run it through a HK21. I generally use silver bear but its just about dried up.
this was in the description:
Manufactured in 2009-2010 for Wolf by the Ulyanovsk Factory. This ammo is a limited purchase that was contracted in smaller quantities so the Wolf Performance guarantee does not apply..
Lot number is 1097-09, with the "10" being very faint
Heres what it did.
The cases are smashed from them not cycling the gun, just note the bases. Yes those are cracks where they blew out the side at the base.
A sample of the primers being blown. The gun was running like crap and I thought it was the gun. What it really was was the primers inside the gun causing feeding problems, and the blown cases not ejecting.
What you can't see is inside the blown cases, is it looks like the base of the case cracked from the case wall, and there is a fine "circle" in the web of the case outlining the primer-personally I think the case was/is manf poorly.
I pulled 10 rounds but could not find anything funky with the powder load, it was ball powder BTW.
Anyways wolf said they will replace it, gave me a shipping tag and off it went.
We will see.
BTW the gun was headspaced correctly and I ran 500 or so of my last silver bear to confirm its good. Its the ammo not the gun. I also did not take the time to look at the cases when shooting it after having problems. I did not suspect the ammo until so old guy brought the pimerless cases to me and then i started looking.
