gahunter12 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Have you shot them for groups yet? I'd be curious to see what type of 100 yard groups people are averaging. I have, but all my AR's have Aimpoint PRO, or T-1 Reddot sights. They seem to shoot 1.62-1.75" @ 100yrds with a 2 MOA red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I have shot groups with the 55 grain Wolf FMJ's out of a 20 inch Criterion barrel and 16 inch Stretch 16. Both shot around .75 for 5 shots at 100 yards, with TAC and Wolf SRM primers. Outstanding value. The real test will be at 300 yards once I can dig out of 30 inches of snow. Wow .75 MOA with 5 shots with Wolf FMJ's! Good first post. Let us know how it does at 300 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What charge did you use with TAC? COAL? I have some TAC and Wolf SRM on hand that I'd like to try with 55's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS_A18138 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I pulled the trigger on the Wolf also..Club is starting a month carbine match..Sucks now I have to feed two guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsdoug Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I am running my 55s at 5.56 chamber pressures, so approach with caution. 26.2 grain TAC is giving me no pressure signs and about 3100 fps out of a 18 inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 my tac load is 24.5 grains, using Wolf primers. I load for several guns and this works in all of the them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRDFurgesson Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 wideners had 55gr mil spec bullets for 350 for 6k the other day. i think that makes it around 7 cents per bullet. I've had great results with Wideners 55gr M-193 Milspec "HQ" bullets, sub MOA with the right load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtp Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Has anyone shot the Wolf 55gr FMJ bullets (in their reloads, not Wolf Gold ammo) out to 300yds? Results? Results vs Hornady 55gr FMJBT or SPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptoid Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I finaly got out last week and shot some 100 yd groups off the bench on paper. With my standard load that normaly shoots Hornady's at or less than 1 MOA I shot two 10 shot back to back groups at 1 MOA ea. I also shot them on steel out to 400 yds. and the ballistics appeared to be identicle to the Hornadys as my zero's at distance were spot on and the accuracy was just as good. I had previously shot a few in one of my other rifles at steel only and they shot identicle to Hornadys at distance, but didn't get to shoot paper that day. Both rifles are 1 in 8 twist, 1 =16", 1=18" Your results could vary of course but I'll be shooting some more of these. If you buy 1-3K at a time, they are less than Hornadys at the same quantity, even with the shipping charge. If you buy 6K at a time of the Hornadys from some venders they are drop shipped at no charge and are then about the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock34shooter Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So just order 4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptoid Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) So just order 4000. My point was; For me, on the West coast, buying 4000 WG's + shipping, or 6000 Hornadys with free shipping is about the same per-bullet cost. It is nice to have choices we know will get the job done Edited February 19, 2016 by reptoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 4000 bullets for $199.99 +shipping comes out to the same price per bullet as 6000 Hornadys shipped?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear it up for everyone Old price = $199.99 + $43.22 shipping to west coast= $.06 per bullet Current prices = 4000 Wolf @ $249.99 + $43.22 shipping to west coast= $.073 per bullet (if you're closer=less frieght) 6000 Hornady @ $468 + free shipping to west coast= $.078 per bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptoid Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Who had the Hornady bullets in stock with shipping included? I bought mine from Widener's and they were drop-shipped from Hornady no charge. I don't see the 55 FMJ's listed on their web-site now. Their new web format is not to my liking- Doesn't show items at all that are not in stock so I can't tell if they don't carry something at all, or they're just out of stock You can also get them from Midsouth Edited February 21, 2016 by reptoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmiller1 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Any update on how these wolf bullets loaded and or shot. No, still running on my other loads. I expect in the next few weeks to start the process of building a load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) These are some amazing claims for wolf gold bullets......Yeah, I'd like to see pics of actual 100 yard groups.Over at AR15.com, they have a "one MOA all day" challenge. Five, 5 shot groups. A lot of guys claim they can shoot MOA, but it is "put up or shut up" with how that challenge is structured. The even have a "Wall of Claim" where other posters get called out and then get mocked for not "puting up". My latest order from LaRue actually came with the targets to use. I still have a bunch of Montana Gold 55 grainers I bought years ago. I finally got around to loading some of them. This is how they grouped...err...patterned: Now, granted, I did not do any testing with different powder charge weights (a.k.a. ladder test???). If the Wolf bullets can group better than that, I would be interested. Even better if they arrived at a lower price per bullet than the Hornadys.

reptoid Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 For all of the doubters: I really don't care at all if you believe my group size statement. You're missing the point. Are the Wolf gold bullets magic match bullets? No they are not. What they are is a decent substitute and a good quality 55 gr. FMJ. If you can't shoot a decent group with your current ammo, they won't make you or your rifle a better shooter. 55 gr. FMJ bullets are not match bullets, no matter the brand, but some are a lot better than others. Most people have come to agree that the Hornadys are about as good as it gets, and the point of my post was to compare apples to apples. Same load, same rifles, same carefully prepared brass, shot off a benchrest, and same result when changing only one variable, means they are a good quality bullet for the money.
