I just had issues with this ammo for some reason. And when I see that the only thing left in the chamber was a bunch of black soot from a blown primer I, get a little concerned. My rifle is a standard AA grendel chamber.
    Are you sue the soot is from a blown primer? I have found the wolf steel 100gr stuff to be very dirty.

      yeah, it is the blown primer. After the blown primer I ripped out the case that didn't eject and then found black soot all over the blot face and all down my magazine. Blown primer and failure to eject the case. And the PPU ammo is brass cased. It was actually very accurate ammo out of my rifle though.

        I bought 5 boxes of this stuff and need to get out there and shoot it to see what it will do.

          I was bug-holing these today like it was easy or something at 100yds, using my friend's Lilja 18" barreled Grendel I built for him.

          He was putting them on steel out to 600yds with ease on steel.

            Yeah I like em' quite well, point of impact at short to medium is a little higher than sst/amax but lower from 500/600 on out... Anyone have the BC on these???

              From the little bit of playing with this ammo I have done, it looks like the BC is going to be about .455. Thats my best guess using the Ballistic AE app on my phone. I've only been able to shoot it from 100-500 yards, but it seems to match up with the ballistics chart pretty well to those distances.

              ETA: This stuff is shooting nearly neck and neck with the Hornady 123 AMAX out of my rifle. The groups are around .1 MOA larger. I only had 3 boxes to try out, but I will be getting more.

                You can get the bullets from Grafs and Powder Valley. I have shot better groups with these than the A-Max or the SST.

                              I didnt want to start a new thread for this, hope its ok to link to another forum PPU kaboom well sort of. Has anybody here noticed pressure signs in hot barrels or ambient temperature with wolf/PPU. Wolf gold shot great in my rifle and I just ordered 10 boxes of PPU and Im hoping this is not a bad batch of ammo out there.

                                Thanks for this. I noticed the OP in the thread is in AZ and so am I. I'm glad i read this before I ordered any PPU.
