Greetings,

Just be aware that older Uly did not use the improved bullet, the transition seemed to have occurred in '96, buy '97 or later to be sure.

All of the Silver Bear I use has "8M3 EFFECT" written on the side of the box.

I have heard that the Wolf MC that is coming in now has the wolf headstamps instead of the uly. Im just wondering if they are still using the 8m3 bullet anymore. They quit putting the sealant on them both so makes me think its all coming from the same factory seeing that the headstamps the same.

The old early '90s Russian Hollow Point (pre-Wolf) bullets may be inaccurate to some degree. I took some of it to the range to sight in (regular 16" AK) and couldn't get any groups with it. It sounded and felt just as hot as any other, but the bullets may be slightly out of balance which would throw them around some in flight. By 'inaccurate' I mean the best I could manage with them was to keep most of the shots on a piece of typewriter paper at 100 yards with iron sights. This is just a theory. The next time I went, I took my AMD-65 with original barrel which only has about 10" of rifling and a shorter sight radius. I used current-production Wolf MC HP, and had much better results. Next time I'll take the other AK and try it with the Wolf. Once I prove this theory, I'll basically shoot up the old stuff when I can do some rapid fire and mag dumps. I suppose some guys would take advantage of the market and sell it for a big profit, but that's not me.

This was gleaned from some posts by FreeRange Yoda, who is now deceased, posted on the AK Forum. He took apart a number of cartridges and di-sected the bullets, demonstrating an evolution in Russian hollow point bullet design over a period of years. There was an 8M2 hollow point that preceded the 8M3 bullet. |

When was that type of ammo made that you just mentioned?I just picked up a Russian battlepack from the 80's it is believed to be. Non corrosive,123grn HP's. It was an unopened white waxy/coated looking paper.I opened it to see if corrosive or not,it is not but stinks of some nasty pungent chemical!

I got rid of all my 95-96 dated stuff based on the claim that the good bullet was introduced in 97. I hope this claim is correct

So any word on the "Newer" MC having the 8M3 Bullet? I was about to buy some and the reason the 8M3 is the reason for it. I was unaware the new Wolf MC doesn't have any sealent on it.

I got some of the new non sealant wolf MC HPs I can't say for sure if they are using the 8M3 bullet because I have no known 8M3 bullets to compare them to, I can tell you that the hole in these MC HPs is a little larger and not as deep as the Wolf BB HPs I have. Since the MC is 124gr and the BB is 122gr they don't use the same bullet but I can't say for sure if the 124gr bullet is the 8M3 or some other 124gr HP bullet. I would think that they are both made in the same plant since they both have the symbol of a small p inside of a large C with a smaller T to the right of the C with SA03 under it and the diamond with rNc inside it, what those mean I don't know.
For what its worth the BB is older production with the sealant on the primer only and the new production MC doesn't have sealant on the bullet or the primer which isn't that big of a deal to me since I find the sealant is the dirtiest part of shooting this ammo. |

My Uly ammunition has always been ridiculously accurate, at least through my Arsenal SLR-95. A friend used it through his Hungarian SA-85M while he still owned it with similar results.
I found a couple of Uly cases recently that I had forgotten about. The boxes are labeled differently, I can provide photos of the other text on the boxes if so desired.

  Are they the all white boxes?

Quoted:

I think I have about 700 more rounds in the individual white boxes from a third case I cracked open and was using for plinking. They ran me $125.00 a case on average back in the Nineties, it cost me more because of shipping to Alaska. |

Do the white boxes say "Made in Russia" and "Hunting Cartridges?" Thanks!
I don't have any of the new MC but not much old left either so want to know what to buy that has the "8M3 Effect." Unless someone cuts one of the new Wolf MC Bullets in 1/2 I now believe from pictures at least they do not have the pocket in the middle like the old MC. Also, I saw Wolf said the BB is the same as the MC but I remember seeing pictures of the BB cut in half and the old MC cut in half and the MC had the "Pocket" while the BB didn't. Does it mean now the BB has the Pocket or the MC doesn't? Quoted:

I have no doubt that the ammo is always undergoing changes of which the end user has no knowledge. At this point in time, it's almost impossible to tell without actually testing it. |
