    Wolf bullets are undersized 0.262" vs 0.264"

    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

      That's the light engraving bullets for the non-Faxon group buy crowd.

        Doubt they'd print better if correctly sized. 4 MOA for steel case ain't bad.

          They are what they are-- pffft. But cheap ammo to practice , your non flinch ideas, holdover at different distances, functioning of rifle, and problem solving if an issue pops up- etc.

          That's my nice way of saying, I won't buy it. I have shot a few from BFT at the range. Icckkkk,- how bad? reminds me of the spider I had on my eyelid one day..yes- icckkk

          Years back. you could buy a Daewoo car, or a BMW. Same same here. Spend less on beer , ladies of the night, etc., get the better brass, take up reloading. We'll walk Y'all thru it.

          we got 2.75 moa at 100 yds. Icckkk Last run

            It's cheap for a reason. Personally if I want to blast I have a 556. Running steel cased cheap ammo through what I consider a precision weapon is blasphemy. In other words if I buy a custom barrel and build an accurate hunting, target rifle I'm not running cheap steel cased bimetal ammo down it.

              Works fine for me. Shoots low compared to Hornady Black, but it is consistent.

                Sounds like these need to be paper patched :-P

                  SAAMI says bullet diameter should be 0.2643" (-0.0030"), therefore the range is 0.2613" to 0.2643". I'm guessing your're better off with the looser fit for the bimetal jackets.

                  The stuff shoots surprisingly well through my AA barrel, but I won't put it down a high dollar barrel.

                  I called AA about a year ago and kept asking questions until Bill got on the phone. That was an interesting conversation. One thing he told me was that the Wolf steel case needed conventional rifling for best performance. The milder rifling designs such as 5R don't tend to work well with the bimetal bullets.

                    Thanks Drillboss for checking against the standard.

                    I was wondering if any one made bullets at the low end of the SAAMI tolerances. Now I know!
