i saw that thes Wolf rounds are so very cheap for a .223 500rds for 45 dollars and i was thinking of getting them but i dont know if they are any good.......will they damage the gun or leave behind a large amount of residue like a black powder??????? and the casings are steel instead of brass could that make a differece in the quaality?????????/well if you know anything about these rounds or ones like them i would like to know.......

 

I've never heard of these wolf bullets, but I'm surprised to hear they use steel casings. Do others use this? I know most use brass because it stretches to seal against the chamber walls when fired, keeping the high pressure from blowing out the back end in your face.Then it shrinks back enough to allow easy extraction. I'd be cautious on this. You're doing the right thing by researching first. Good luck.

 

I use them in my Mosin Nagant.It is a 7.62x54.I 've never had any problems at all.

 

hey biggen, so your using wolf rounds huh? are they a dirty bullet to use or are they like any other...do any misfire or do any of the casing shred apart when being shot..........cus i was going to buy a ruger mini 14 rancher addition whith synthetic black stock and stainless barrel..............so these rounds arent corrosive huh>???? well if you could anwser these questions i would like that.........i will then mabey buy 500-1000 rounds...........ok

 

What ever floats your boat polaris man,45$ for 500 rnds is not bad and I have yet to have a bad experience w/ the 7.62x 54 rounds.Corrosive more than the average remington or winchester i do not know,but a good cleaning after a day of shooting is never a bad idea.I buy mine buy the 20 round box at the local dealer for $6.95.

Modern ammo uses a progressive propellant,with does not "explode " in the gun like black powder does,which leaves behind a salt residue.Living in Michigan I am sure you know what happens when salt and metal are together for to long.Later

 

i purchased a case of 7.62x39 - have fired 500+ rnds with no problems.. as with any ammo, if you fire often, clean often.

hope this helps.

 

Wolf ammo has some pretty big drawbacks. First of all it is laquer coated and can leave a build-up in your rifle resulting in rounds becoming stuck in the chamber (seen most often in ARs with a .223 chamber). Wolf labels their .223 as a .223 Rem but do to jamming issues and cases becoming laquered in place I sometimes wonder if the round is actually made to 5.56x45 NATO specs. Also Wolf does in fact use a steel case rather than a brass one which leaves you with non-reloadable spent casings, if you don't reload this is a non-issue for you.
