Don't you just love how the economy works?you guys keep shootin it and we make money
Probably true--which is why I don't use Wolf in my US guns (all 2 of them, both .22LR ).US guns and US pistols are not designed for steel case ammo.
Amen to that. If you want tack-driving accuracy, look for something else. If you want to have some "fun with your gun" (err, rifle ), Wolf is fine--assuming your weapon isn't an AR :barf: . And, since I have no autoloaders, I can't comment on their pistol ammo. YMMV.It's range ammo.
Aside from that the steel cased ammo can be rough on some American extractors which are built weak to only handle brass or other soft casings.
Extractors are cheap to replace, and the diffrence in $$$ saved in ammo can easily buy new extractors...
It is caused by the increased force needed to extract the case.
I didn't clean it (more on that later), but I just pulled it out and took a look at it. It's actually cleaner than I expected (I'm an AR newbie). The visible internal walls of the tube are black, but there isn't any accumulation. A puff of air in one end results in a corresponding puff out of the other end's hole (no, I didn't put my lips on the tube).mtnbkr:clean the gas tube in your AR and tell us what it is like
Personally, though I am a Wolf fan, I think Wild sums it up nicely right there. Stick by that philosophy, and you'll do fine--no screwing up finiky ARs, breaking expensive weapons, or whatnot; just some quality time shooting cheap ammo out of combloc guns .Wildalaska said:Other than com bloc guns, most though were designed for brass cases. You want to shoot em in your ARs or Colts or whatever, hey keep a few extra $$ for your gunsmith
Really....when was the last time you changed an extractor on a quality firearm?
How bout on a remington 700? Would you toss Wolf down a remington 700?
Ever change the extractor in a BHP? or an M1 carbine?
Hey, what happens when the case gets stuck, the extractor shears off, the next round is stripped off the mag and becasue there is a pice of the extractor floating around, the fresh round blows out of battery? (ive seen that one)...
All to save how much?
Agian, its amazing how some poples egos are so damaged by the very concept that what they like actually sucks.
some guys are happy if it goes bang everytime, and if they have to do some maint., no big deal.
Wolf: $139-1000 rounds.223 LAKE CITY SS109 GREEN TIP 223 (PD Ammo, possibly out of spec) $229-1000 Rounds.so for every 1000 rounds u save $90 bucks...thats 3 or 4 AR-15 extractors easy
