Wolf XM193?

[helidonna]

Has anyone shot this stuff yet? Supposed to be made in Serbia. Just wondering how closley it matched up to the real thing. I know that a lot of folks here don't care much for Wolf ammo, and that maybe this is Wolf' attempt to gain a little more market share. Let me know what you think...

Good ammo, shoots as good as standard M193(around 2.5-3 MOA if your shooting 10 round groups).

Buy 200 rounds and see if works in your rifle, if it does you are good to go.

BTW, its Prvi Partisan. Wolf doesn't make ammo, they just import it. The Russian stuff is made by Tula Cartridge Works.

Some have reported early on that it caused short stroking. I can't say as I have never shot it.

ETA: I should add that I would be willing to try it if I found some at a really good price! ;)

It's worked fine in my AR's. I think it's every bit as good as XM-193. It recoils like it's loaded a bit hotter than XM-193 also. Although I have no way to quantify that. It just feels like it to me.

Ive shot about 200 rounds of it. Its good stuff, it never had a failure of any kind.

Good price, yes?

Yes that is a good price for the wolf M193, especially if you are a buyer club member. Sportsmans guide is where I bought mine from.

Here is some that is in stock for $10 cheaper, but I don't think this comes in battle packs.

Cool. Yeah, I'm in the buyers club, so I'll probably check some out. I've only shot Lake City XM193 and Georgia Arms 55gr 223 reloads and have never had a failure in my bushmaster, so I'm hoping the Wolf works out. It'd be nice to get the XM193 performance at near the GA price.

From my expirience with a small sample of rifles(7) is that it only has problems in rifles that are known to be ammo sensetive.

I bought a case of this stuff, it won't fire in any of my ARs. They are reliable with everything else, including the cheap steel cased wolf.

Well most say it's ok. I guess it's worth trying, I was looking to see if anyone had ran some through a chronograph. What kind of velocitites are we seeing? With what barrel lenghts etc...

It needs to come down in price before I'd bother with it.

seems loaded light compared to the XM193 from federal. have yet to shoot any groundhog terrorists with it yet, so i am witholding official judgment.
