Finally had a chance to hit the range today with Wolf's new 75 grain steel case load.
People have wanted to know about the accuracy of this load, so my interest was simply to check group size. I have already chrono'd this load and posted elsewhere.
Rifle used for testing was a Les Baer Ultimate NRA Match with a 24 inch stainless
steel match barrel with a 1-8 inch twist. It was topped with a 36x Weaver T-36 Benchrest scope and fired from a benchrest with a rear bag at 100 yards.
Six consecutive 10-shot groups were fired.
Groups included the hand chambered first round.
Average group size was a respectable 2.1 inches
Average of the tightest 5 rounds out of each group was .85 inch
Reliability was 100% with no problems.
A full detailed report will be posted in an article on

in a few days
but you heard about it here first...
regarding accuracy, it looks to be excellent training ammunition, for which it was designed for. I feel group size could be cut by .5 to .75 MOA simply by sorting loaded rounds by weight. This is a very old school method which works. When I get the chance I will sort some by weight and shoot some more 10 shot groups and see how much of an improvement this makes. But out of the box accuracy appears to be good, remember 2 MOA is only 12 inches at 600 yards....
