    Sorting Wolf Steel to increase accuracy?

    Has anyone tried sorting Wolf 6.5 by weight and/or length to see if more consistency can be obtained?
    I have a Doublestar 20" 1:9 chrome lined barrel coming to build a practice rig to shoot the cheap stuff to practice wind reading.

    Thanks,
    Lee

    Coming from my experience, I would rather shoot good quality ammunition. Yes, I do shoot wolf steel from time to time. I would rather use my scale to check powder charges in handloads. I think it's great we have the option, but why waste the time to smear lipstick on a pig.
    Yard work is not an excuse!

      It's cheap and fast.

        The Wolf bullet is .261-.262, way undersized for a .264 bore. Top that with inconsistent bullet tension from either the crimp, or lacquer, equates to a plinking round that 1.5 MOA is awesome accuracy out of a top end barrel.

        100 yard plinking, and CQB/training is about all it's worth.

        Not going to get quality Grendel food at $.28 per. American Gunner is your next best bet at $.60 or so.
