Wolf .30 Carbine Ammo

[Gutshot John]

I just picked up a sweet Winchester M1 Carbine on gunbroker and am looking at the increasingly rare ammunition.

I found some Wolf ammo for a nice price and would like to buy a case.

Has anyone had any issues with Wolf in a military M1 Carbine?

YMMV......some people have had great luck, others complain about it being extremely dirty and having issues, and I'm talking about out of a GI carbine, let alone a commercial copy.


I'd probably shop around and try to find some Aguila.

I've had an Inland GI carbine for many years....I've used Wolf for plinking with good results. It's a bit underpowered but works without fail. Once again, it's good for plinking, but if you want full power loads....reload!!

FWIW:

Results seem to vary from gun to gun. Some very reliable people report broken extractors and other problems. My personal experience in two different Inlands:
Very dirty -- drives huge amount of crud into the bolt face around the extractor & ejector.
Hits to a different POI than anything else.
Weak cycling --which gets progressively worse. Ejection patterns shift from around 2 o'clock to 3 , then to 4 , and beyond. I shoot a shoulder gun mostly left handed so getting hit in the face got tiresome very fast.

I tried around 3 boxes and gave up. Back to Win 296 reloads and my hoard of ROK ball.
Find some Aguilla , S & B , whatever.
