Now before you attack me I read through the FAQ's and did a search. I now the question about if Wolf is good is brought up fifteen times a day but my question is a little different. I just finished putting together my first AR which is composed of all Stag parts. Is Wolf ok to use from the begining or should I go for a higher quality ammo to break the rifle in? |
| I bought a new Stag upper and shot 20 rounds of brass ammo and then switched to Wolf. I could tell that the brass ammo was shootig so well that I would try my luck with the Wolf. I have shot about 500 rounds of Wolf after only shooting 20 rounds of brass and no issues. Maybe I was lucky, but I doubt it! |
| There is no particular reason a rifle needs certain ammo to "break in". The reason to take high quality ammo and magazines with you is to help troubleshoot in case something doesn't work. That way you're not scratching your head, wondering if it's the rifle or the ammo. |
I did find that wolf short-stroked 1/3 rounds until I got 1-200 rounds of M193 down range in my Sabre. Then again, having a rifle-length gas system has a lot to do with that I think as the carbine is what most people have/refer to and it is over-gassed. |
Ditto, Anyhow, all I've used in my DPMS from start to now has been Wolf and Monarch period. I have no idea if it will even cycle the good stuff yet. Personaly, I would cycle 3-4 magazines with brass before I made the switch. |
