Anyone have experience with wold polyformance .223 62gr ammo?

How does it shoot? And is it safe through a suppressor?

I assume just the case is poly coated

Just the case is poly coated. It is good stuff IMO. I have shot a little over 1K of this ammo and have very few problems. Just keep your chamber clean.

Is it as bad as what people are saying about the Tula ammo in the other thread.

No, Tula is generally regarded as some of the worst Russian ammo.  The WPA and Brown Bear are regarded as some of the better Russian stuff, made at the Barnaul plant.

WPA isn't great, but it's better than Tula.

What about shooting it through a suppressor?

The only issue I would have through a can is it tends to be very dirty. So you might have to clean the can more often. You will get a lot of crap in the action suppressed, but it's cheap and goes bang every time.
It shoots well enough in my rifles I wouldn't be afraid of baffle strikes and such.

That's what I was needing to know. Thanks a lot!

I have fired thousands of rounds of this stuff...  I have maybe 2000 rounds through my M42000 with no issues.  I did have a Bushmaster from the early 2000's that would not reliably cycle the 62gr stuff, but the 55's ran fine.  I got rid of that gun.  My others run fine on it.
