just needing some opinions about shooting wolf ammo with stainless barrel. I have a loather wather barrel and have been told by a few people to resist buying wolf, but the price difference is very tempting. thanks for the input...

| Your barrel sounds like it is a mtch grade barrel, likely with a match grade chamber. IF it is it will have tighter tollerances than a standard chamber. Wolf ammo is about the least expensive ammo you can purchase, and is therefore among the most inconsistenly sized and charged ammo I am aware of. In addition, the coating on the steel case has had a tendency to stick in many chambers, a tigher chamber like yours will make this potential even greater. I predict problems. |
The actual problem is the case does not seal the chamber very well and a lot of carbon gets caked in the chamber. |
| As far as shooting it, I do and there is not a reason that I wouldn't. The accuracy isn't what you will want it to be out of a barrel like that. I run it in my M4 so I don't worry about accuracy. Prvi Partizan ammo is farily cheap and from my experiences it is more accurate than wolf. |

I hate it. Mainly because it smells like shit and I stand on the wrong side of my rifle. Its weaker than other ammo, so you may have cycling issues, especially if you're using a heavier buffer. Its also filthy. IMO using wolf in a thousand dollar rifle is like using regular unleaded in a side-oiler 427. Yeah, it'll run. But it'll run better on premium. |

I have shot Wolf in my ArmaLite M15A2NM without any problems. Friday I was shooting my A1 across a small canyon (ranged at 480yds) at some rocks in the slide area and made 80% hits using Wolf 55gr FMJ. No scope , just KY Aimpoint....  If thats just for plinking I wouldn't want to be plinked on by someone using Wolf....
