I do agree that it's not that big of a deal if the Wolf ammo malfunctions here and there because I'm only using it as target ammo. I would like to stock some for long term storage as well but it'd probably be worth the extra couple of dollars to go with something better.
Something to check while your upper is being checked by BCM.
1. If using USGI/aluminum mags. Check the lower edge of the feed lips for a burr. They are stamped and sometimes the newer ones have a burr that digs into the casing of the top round causing it to drag when chambering. I have taken a little emery cloth and debarred that area on many aluminum mags.
2. When you get your upper back make sure you use a chamber brush, fixed handle rod and solvent to muck out the chamber.
3. Lastly, I have had 2 colt carbines that would not run Wolf 55g when they were new. after about 500-1000 rds of "Break in" they run Wolf or cheap steel cased stuff just fine. I know people will say that a "Properly Built Quality Rifle Doesn't need breaking in but my experience with a few different rifles is different. BCG's and bolts do "Mate" to their respective parts. I run everything I have extremely "WET" (again, in my experience)
Let us know how your rifle runs when you get it back.
Until that day,
