Wolf Steel Case

[dammitman]

After seeing the lawlessness and law enforcments inability to establish civil order in Frgeson, I'll bet a lot of us are checking AA website four times a day to add to our stock of ammo.

it sure seems likley that particular groups of people find the same reason to loot, steal and burn down the local neighborhoods. as seen there, this could happen just about anywhere at any time. yea, i changed my mind, i want a few thousand rounds of that low cost throw away case grendel ammo. i am putting together a low cost grendel to run it thru!

To update:

David Fortier delivered on his promise re a gel shot pic, in his August 18, 2014 SHOTGUN NEWS article, STEEL-CASE 6.5MM GRENDEL, at news stands, now.

Cool. Now, when will that photo get posted online...

I heard the Ukranians artillery hit a Russian ammo truck. I hope it wasn't ours.

LOL! You guys are killing me. Seriously, I've been afflicted with the "check the AA website" 3 times a day syndrome. Bill's traffic on the site must be way up!

So no price or availability yet ?

Price: $7.99 a box according to Bill A.
Availability: It was supposed to be on a truck headed to AA. It seems that the truck was particularly slow, or perhaps took an exceptionally circuitous route. I'm beginning to fear Brigands.

So I have a stainless steel JP barrel and I'm torn between shooting this steel case ammo in it or not. I've heard mixed reports, some say it will wear your barrel much fast due to steel on steel. I've heard others say the steel used in the ammo is much softer and shouldn't wear much extra.

Now I assume this ammo will wear my barrel a little faster, but at $.40 a round and a new JP barrel running around $525 it is still very tempting to run through my gun. The way I see it is that I will save enough on ammo shooting this to cover the cost of a new barrel... that is however if it doesn't wear extremely fast. Any insight on the matter?

I always looked at steel case wolf Grendel rounds like a unicorn, a mythical creature that does not exit. Lets hope I am wrong

You are correct. The steel case itself is irrelevant. The bi-metal (copper pated steel jacket) projectile on the other hand will cause accelerated bore wear. That wear is highly likely to be far more offset by the price difference in ammo.

A barrel is an expendable wear part, and it's actually feasible that some folks will save money in the long run using the Wolf ammo.

Thanks for the reply, and yes I meant steel jacketed bullet, not case!

"There are pallets of the stuff that arrived"

So if it arrived in country, why is it taking so long to get to Alexander Arms.

The long running saga continues.

Brigands of course!




Meanwhile Bill A. Was last seen driving a decoy truck full of dirt across the desert, whilst constantly battling other would be raiders and and disgruntled hoard members.LOL





With Bill W. being our "eye in the sky", we'll have to see if he can report anything back.

I'm hoping that it's not with the indefinite hold of anything coming out of Russia by the ATF due to the exec order cluster that's trying to get sorted out.

I heard that the truck developed engine trouble, so the trailer was detached and is being pulled by a 20-mule team at an average speed of 14 miles per day.

At the rate this has been going you will wear your barrel out before you can even get your hands on Wolf Steel Cased.

I would bet that most mfgs can go from concept, development, testing, manufacturing, then distribution of Match ammo 3x faster than it has taken this "plinking" round to get to where we are now.
