Wolf 100gr steel case, amazingly good stuff

[Armadillo66]

my 18" budget build really does well shooting the Wolf stuff. I got some from Graf & Sons for $5.99/20rndsShooting 100yds I got excellent groups, a little bit of horizontal stringing, but I think the way it looked on target, I am doing that with my trigger pull.
I use an old steel water well pressure tank to hang targets on, the Grendel blows big holes in that tank. Real metal shredder. Hiding behind a modern import car would be absolutely no protection from a Grendel round. I have also exploded several large pieces of river rock down in the creek. Grendel does hit hard.
Another thing I noticed, the Wolf steel was not as dirty firing as the Hornady Black I have tried. I was stunned as I figured the Wolf would be like most 7.62x39 Wolf I have fired and be pretty dirty, but the gun ran good and cleaned up easy
I really hope the availability and price of the Wolf gets better, I will shoot a bunch of it.
Outlier shots on this target were me shooting off at the other parts of the target messing with my ocular focus on the Sig Whisky 3 mounted on this gun WIN_20180322_14_06_12_Pro.jpg

Good to hear!

i have had many amazing groups with the wolf. and it shoots to the same point of aim as my hornady ammo. i really like it and its fun to shoot. my 12" faxons love it.

You guys are lucky! I’m gonna have to try my 12 Faxon on this. I’ve had 500 rds on the shelf for months and haven’t shot any of it.

My experience has been different, best groups have been around 2 1/2 inches with the average being bigger.

[jonny rotton]

i have had many sub minute groups. if i were to tell the sizes many would think i was lying. they are that good. all lots are not the same though. i do have many years of rifle shooting under my belt. years and years ago i did have a couple of top ten finishes at a national level.

Years of shooting open sighted guns, M1 Garands, 03 Springfield and Mauser target rifles. Hours on the Boy Scout summer camp range too. Once you have good marksmanship skills you can make any rifle shoot better

Poor ammo will not make the best rifle shoot MOA or less. In the same rifle other factory ammo and reloads get under MOA. Look around this forum and find the reports many others have posted about the accuracy they have gotten with Wolf Steel cased ammo. I have run it in three different rifles with 5 shots in 2 1/2 inches being the average.

My AA barrel shoots it into about 2.5" as well. I will occasionally get 4 shots into a pretty tight group but then a flyer happens and opens it up to 2.5" or so.

I was a real sceptic of using it when it first finally came available but have changed my tune. I will always keep cases of it around.

[rickt300]

I still use it for things like barrel break in and getting on the paper so as to not waste actually good ammo or reloads!

So you're the reason it is unavailable for sale anywhere.

I have been thinking it is better for barrel break in with the harder mild steel bullet.

[Armadillo66]

yeah I am still breaking in my build and trying to get my reloading gear assembled

I have shot the Wolf steel cases stuff out of a friends 12" and 14.5" Grendels with terrible results.....
I dont even bother buying it for my 18" Grendel.
