Wolf ammo and carbine classes.....

[petey1]

Quick question for those that have attended carbine courses....is Wolf okay for a class, or a no go? I use Wolf almost exclusively at the range anymore and have had only one problem that turned out to be with the buffer weight (shortstroking). Have any of you used (or seen others use) Wolf, and if so any issues with a high round count class? I will be attending a one day class (500 rounds) next month and I'm wanting to conserve my brass-cased stuff if possible as I don't have much Many thanks.

I think it depends on the range that is hosting the class. Best bet is to contact the instructor or school and ask first.

I have been to classes with several different people and have seen wolf shot. No one seemed to have an issue with it, except that it was wolf. But again, best best is to contact the school/instructor and ask.

Depends on the instructor if he wants Wolf used or not. I personaly just saw several people put about 1200 rounds of it down range per shooter over a two day carbine class. No ammo malfunctions that I recall seeing.

We have been using steel cased Hornady ammo (made in Russia) lately at our classes.

With rifles from 3 different makers, firing over 5k rounds, no problems so far.

Why not? Wolf goes bang. If it malfunctions you get more practice performing immediate action.

I can't imagine an instructor having a problem with that. And I can appreciate your concern over buring up good ammo.

IMHO, you spend a lot of money and effort to go to a school so why shoot the worst ammo on the planet?

Many instructors advise against using Wolf in their classes for the simple reason that it tends to cause more malfunctions than any other ammo. One shooter on the line having to clear malfunctions all day really slow the class down.

I've never shot wolf through my weapns, never will. After this last weekend seeing BookHound catch a squib round (with a 1k suppressor on the end of his gun) with Georgia Arms Canned heat, I'll never shoot that either...

You endanger not only yourself and your gear, but the people next to you when you skimp on ammo...

Grant and Wideners has a good deals on Prvi...PMC is still widely available and thats still pretty decent..

Because 5.56 is no longer 10 cents a round!

I wouldn't go to bed with wolf, but I'll shoot it now simply because ammo is ridiculously expensive.....so I can either I shoot less with better ammo or I shoot more with borderline ammo.
