The "paint" is lacquer coating. Some here love it and some hate it. Wolf's new ammo doesn't have that lacquer coating as the previous ammo does. Personally I love wolf in my AK.

Just out of curiousity how cheap can you get it?

Yeah, how cheap can you get it? I love the stuff so if you can point me to a good deal I'd appreciate it...

0,3 usd pr shot.

but this is in norway. this is cheap in norway. how much do you pay for 223 ammo ?

But will the chamber in my bushmaster have problems if i shoot this ammo with the lacquer coating ?

My Bushy has NEVER had one single problem with Wolf ammo. The lacquer stinks and clean up is slightly more arduous, but the ammo is cheap and reliable. Buy it!

so there is no problem removing the stuff from the chamber with a ar chamber brush?

Some guns with tight match chambers will have problems with it, but in my experience most standard AR rifles will eat the stuff up.

I really like the stuff.
my rifles eat it up without any problems.

i dont mind cleaning. its more time i get to spend with my guns!

A q-tip dipped in acetone (commercial grade, not fingernail polish remover) will easily remove it from the chamber.

You can get commercial acetone at any large auto parts store.

WOW, that is really expensive for Wolf. I've paid as low as $68 USD per 1,000 so that's .068 USD per shot. I hate to think of how much Remington or S&B cost where your are.
