| I shot some of it last Saturday at a three gun. Haven't had any problems with it as far as FTF, FTE, fouling, ect. I definitely noticed a difference when I went from shooting a magazine of Q131A to a magazine of the polymer coated 55 grainers. I'd recommend it for plinking ammo. |
I wonder if its even possible? Just cuz of the steel case I mean...wouldnt it cause it to split? hmmm Maybe someone should try and reload one (I know yer not supposed to, but I know people have) and see if it will at least handle a hot load....or just pull the bullet off a factory loaded one and reload it that way. |
Use Barnual instead then. There's no odor like I've smelled in some South African, Wolf or Czech .223 loads. I'm making an assumption though that the 5.45x39 I shoot out of my SAR-2 is just like Barnual's .223 loads as far as odor is concerned. themao

I've already complained about the low powder charge in the 55gr ammo. They said they would contact the engineers and check it out. I think it is because Wolf .223 is for SAAMI .223 chambers and not for 5.56x45 chambers that can see more pressure and hotter loads. |
hahaha....NICE!! +1!!! |

It's all underpowered and stinks! Shooting 45acp from my AR literally will start your eyes burning. I'll shoot reloads in that rifle instead. For my 1911's it's decent stuff for plinking with and almost as cheap as reloading without the hassle. Buy from Miwall for about $95/K. In 5.56 I've had a few issues with the newer stuff in one finicky upper that runs fine with M193. My Colt eats it no problem and I'll see how the new Cav chrome lined upper runs. It's unarguably the cheapest plinking ammo you can buy but not by much anymore. I've found Olympic M193 selling for $124/K. Wolf locally runs $95ish/K. You notice a big difference firing m193 or standard 230gr ball then switching to wolf. I really wish they'd load a bit hotter and use less stinky/acrid propellant. |
= more fun

The local Gander Mtn has a nice stock of wolf .223 for $2.49/box. Not too bad of a price for something I can pick up locally. It gets even nicer when I use of the $10 off coupons (need to buy $50). 2.49 * 20 = 49.80 (-10) = 39.80 + 2.39 (tax) = 42.19 Which comes out to ~10.5 cents a round, like I said... pretty good price for local. |
