The new Wolf ammunition is no longer coated with laquer. It has a polymer coating that is very uniform and clean.

They also stopped using the laquer sealant around the canelure of the bullet.

I shot a couple of boxes of the 62gr .223 yesterday and it also did not have that smell that their earlier ammo used to have.

I would say that this ammo is as accurate as the Lake city stuff I was shooting, and about half the price.
Its copper FMJ, not copper washed. Steel cased,

Fired from a 1:7 twist barrel, it performed very well. I'll certainly be buying a lot more of it very soon. At $100/1000 its a great deal.

Also fired some of the ARMSCOR .45acp ammo from a Thompson subgun and it worked extremely well. At $150/1000 from ammunitionstore.com its a real bargain.

I recommend both to anyone who shoots either caliber.

P.S. Don't blame me if you have a tight match chamber, thats your fault not mine. The stuff works in most "normal" guns.

Has anyone tried Wolf ammo linked? How does it function with the metal M249 links, ie for the Shrike?

Seems the steel cases might not slid out of the links as easily as copper, but what do I know.

All the 7.62x54R stuff is steel cased and it seems to stay in the links no problem, same with the 7.62x39 for the RPD.

The links should hold tension on the case no matter the material....shortof it being teflon or some slippery moly coat.

Did the 7.62x39 look like the pic in this (http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2879) thread or is it different?

So far I have only seen and used the newer .223 stuff. I think they are changing all of their ammo over to the new polymer coating to appease the skeptical American market.

I never had a single round of Wolf ammo in any caliber, fail or malfunction ever.

I'm impressed with this .223 stuff and will be buying a pantload as soon as I can.

7.62x39 stuff with laquered cases is fine for chrome lined AK barrels, it was made for them.
So...if it goes on sale to move it out for newer stock....buy it up.
