I've read on here that Wolf is pretty cheap ammo if you just want to blast away at water jugs. My local range goes out to 100 yards. Obviously Wolf is less accurate, but will I notice it at that rather short range? Thanks! |
How many round in that group? I've shot 3 round sighting groups that good at 50 but no way will it hold that for 10 rounds. By comparison I've shot a 10 round .57" group with Winchester 55gr Balistic Tip Silver. Wolf won't win no shooting contest. If your rife shoots it good, it will shoot something else MUCH better. Still good for having fun though. |

Y'all misunderstand what I'm sayin'. I'm not talking about indiscriminate fire, I'm talking about the woefully inadequacies of the onomatopoeia created by "plink" to describe" shooting with an AR. A .22 rimfire goes "Plink" when you fire it, hence the word "plinking". An AR goes "BAMMM" - not even near "plink". All I'm saying is call a plink a plink and a blast a blast. Look at the first sentence in the first post. He says he wants to "blast away". I rest my case. |

Lessons help you become a better shooter...... Remember the old Acronym . BRASS.......... BREATH RELAX AIM STOPS SQUEEZE ------ the trigger SLOWLY.. IT WORKS FINE. I WILL TAKE OF THAT YOU GUYS ARE GETTING RID OF. THE GUN IS A TOOL. ( An important tools) BUT - You do a lot of the work. Here is what I did this week with WOLF POLY 55 gr. If you have little faith - c heck it out: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=213725 |
WOW. M17s with 3x-9x42 optic GROUPS with wolf (probably 5 inch or so groups), whereas it shoots MOA with .mil ammo with ease. |

I was getting about 2-3 MOA at 100yd using my self-built 24" AR-15. The barrel is a chrome-lined Bushmaster 4150, 24" NM Heavy-Barrel, Pre-Ban threaded, A2 flash hider, bayo lug. I was using a scope and could only maintain about 2-3 MOA using 10 round groups. It's not BAD but it was so underpowered that it was not cycling properly, causing the carrier to latch against the bolt catch. The Wolff XP action spring was too stiff for the underpowered Wolf ammo to push back fully. Once I finished up the small supply of Wolf I had, I used XM193 and it was slamming back the carrier properly and latched up on the bolt catch properly. I was using my CH to manually cycle rounds every 2-3 shots using Wolf. I'll never use Wolf again in my AR-15 for this reason alone. It can cause serious malfunctions down the line for MY particular rifle. Since I was shooting single loads only, nothing bad happened. |
Like I said... I won't knock it, or the rifle that likes it. I can't get that out of my rifles. I know it's not trehnique when I load up a box of Winchester Silver Tip and eat the X ring out of the target at the same range. It just doesn't perform in my rifle. I still use it for blasting and it's plenty accurate for that application. |
