| How is the velocity on this stuff...anyone have any range reports on this?? Couldnt find anything in the review section. |
I am saving my Case of FN, and my DAG until this runs out, as I have a buddy that might sell me about 1000 rounds of some mixed headstamp 7.62

At that price I should be picking up WAY more for blasting..cheapest I have seen since I have been looking for .308 One thing is for sure. No matter how much you buy you will never hear yourself say, "Damn why did I buy so much .308 for 25 cents each when I could have gotten pretty good 556 for almost twice as much?". |

I got higher velocity out from 147gr Wolf (2631.9 avg) than I did with 147gr DAG (2582.7 avg) surplus when shot through my 16" Saiga. Both had about the same variation of 86-88 fps. No group data however.
FYI, Hornaday's 178gr Superformance ammo is AWESOME. 178gr pill was flying at just over 2600 fps for a 20% energy boost compared to the other two. |

From the ammo oracle mirror...
Q. Will steel-jacketed bullets wear out my barrel? Steel-jacketed bullets are always plated with a layer of copper to help protect the bore of the gun. There should be minimal extra wear in a rifle with a chrome-plated bore, but many people are of the opinion that steel-jacketed bullets should be avoided in non-chromed barrels. http://www.razoreye.net/mirror/ammo-oracle/ |

(which is  )

(which is )Yeah, I better explained myself in the m1a/m1 forum. It is a balance of barrel wear vs cost of gun. Cheap gun/cheap ammo... save in end with replacing barrel. Expensive gun, cheap ammo, new barrel more than $$ saved. Something you have to decided. Tula doesn't back their ammo. You KB and you are out whatever you lose. (Where as wolf will make you whole... possibly litterally. )

Not to be a smartass (although accusations have been made before) I think the "tradeoff" is in savings of two kinds.
1- training. I would be much more inclined to take my mbr to a class if I was blowing through 2K rounds of .25 ammo than >.70 2- barrel replacement. In waht you save with "cheap ammo" (read half the cost) you can buy a new barrel in those thousands of rounds. ymmv |
