Hello!
I received my two cases of the new WOLF ammo yesterday via UPS. I bought it from AIM and it was just under $300 for 1,000 rounds, which includes the shipping.
Zhukov has already done an excellent job measuring overall length, bullet weights and etc. so I skipped all this and went right to shooting.
For this test, I used my Colt 6920. It's a stock Colt carbine with the addition of an Aimpoint M4 and a Larue/Troy BUIS. It's got the usual factory bad trigger, etc.
All firing was done from 100 yards from the seated position.
I fired three groups of five rounds using the Aimpoint and three groups of five using the iron sights. After each group, I let the rifle cool for two minutes.
The target used was a standard TQ-15 qualification target.
I forgot to bring along my camera, of course, so I had to use my cell phone. These pictures are not the best but you get the idea.
Here's what a standard TQ-15 looks like:
Here's the fifteen rounds fired with the Aimpoint:
Here's the fifteen rounds fired with the irons:
Ten rounds of WOLF rapid fire at the head using the Aimpoint:
Ten rounds of Hornady 75 TAP practice ammo fired rapid fire for comparison. I used the Aimpoint here, too:
I also fired five rounds from fifty yards and twenty-five yards with our HK-416D. These were fired from the seated position:
The HK416D:
Overall, not too bad! I am not too terribly surprised that the TAP practice round shoots better but spotty availability doesn't make it the ideal practice load. Also, the WOLF stuff is $30 or so a case cheaper than the Hornday.
I want to get some additional time with this load and the HK. I also want to run a similar test with my SLR-106FR and my Yugo M95.
