Things are looking good for the future of Blackout with cheap steel cased ammo becoming available.

Hopefully, after this ammo is introduced, the next offering will be subsonic.

We like this kind of dupe! I wish it was 110 or 120 grain pills though.

I commented a few times in the other thread...but man....I'm so pumped about this!

I expect big gov to make some changes soon....because this is a game changer.

Figures those zany Russians would start producing it about the time the trend settles down. And it should have been a 110gr soft point. I mean, cheap blasting ammo is cool but Russian soft point tends to cost about the same as FMJ and it usually performs pretty well. At 145gr it will be slow AF and won't match the trajectory for good fighting ammo.

This is awesome news!

Yes, I would prefer the supers to be in the 110-120g range, but really I only use supers for HD. When I'm out messing around with the 300 I'm shooting subs suppressed.

Subs should hit the market next summer.

I'm not too interested in steel-cased-anything because I compulsively hoard brass and in this caliber I actually reload it on the regular. What excites me about this, is the prospect of it driving up demand for the caliber and encouraging more aftermarket shit. Now all the cheapskates upstanding freedom-lovers that shoot Tulammo through their Bushmaster XM15s will be getting into .300 BLK

I guess I missed the memo that 300blk trend was settling down? Ammo and parts are more available from more manufacturers now then ever before and it has a firm place in the market with a healthy following. I don't think there is another caliber that enjoys more popularity in the ar platform other than 556. Whatchu talkin bout Willis?

I don't think it's going anywhere. .300 AAC will always be around, but it isn't the hip new thing anymore.

I just bought two complete uppers for .300 BO, one for a pistol & one for a rifle. This Wolf ammo will be perfect for range time ammo & just plain blasting ammo. Good job Wolf.

How good is Wolf's quality control?

Anyone ever heard of issues shooting wolf .223 through a suppressor? Ie. like bullets seated wonky and causing a baffle strike?

In the thousands of rounds of Wolf steel I've shot over the years I've never had a single ammo-related problem, other than being difficult to strip the first round or two from a full mag.
Had some light strikes, but that was the light match trigger springs.

I do prefer brass still, and Wolf gold is a great deal for brass bulk ammo.

Tula is a different story... Or it used to be.  Run away.

Yeah, Tula is a no-go for me.

I have shot a box or two of the Wolf Poly stuff through my TurboK with no issues, just didn't feel super comfortable doing so-warranted or not. That said, I dont think I have heard of any baffle strikes caused by the stuff and will really need to get over my concern once the 300 subs come out.

I have shot hundreds of rounds of Wolf Gold with no issues. It's what I primarily use.

I have cases upon cases of .223 through cans.

Some of the steel case stuff has dirty powder that gets really sand-blasty on baffles in really short barrels, but stout cans or stuff with muzzle brake mounts should be fine.

I saw a video review, and they said that they had trouble with standard mags and had to use 300spec Pmags.

I have a couple of those, but will probably start out with Gen3 Pmags.

Thats what I was going to try first as well. I need some more mags though and will probably get a bunch of the 300 ones for all my steel needs.
