Wolf gold .223? any good?

[Ian W 21sttactical]

I'm looking to buy a couple hundred rounds of wolf gold and i was wondering if its any good? I hear its boxer primed and sealed too. thanks!

Nothing outstanding as far as I can tell. Seems a little hot. It is reloadable, although I had to ream out the primer pockets before setting new primers.

For the money it's fine for plinking.

I have never had problems with it.... nothing spectacular.... have run in in many AR classes and I never had an issue.

For the price its usually the cheapest I can find consistently.... for around .29/round.... though I think I paid .31/rd for my last purchase

29cpr from Sportsmans guide with coupon and buyers club

Hot for 223, relatively accurate, and consistent.

A couple years ago I bought a few thousand rounds and still have 2 cases. Stuff shoots fine. I'd buy it again.

I've shot the wolf steel a LOT and it goes bang. My AR ate everything without hiccups, even with 500rds in one setting.

thanks! fortunately i'm running a 5.56 barrel so i wont have to worry about whether or not the round is loaded hot. thanks for your input though!

I'm only seeing them for 30c a round but thats still a good price for plinking ammo. (edited: with membership at certain stores prices are 29/r)

I just got done reloading some wolf gold and had to ream the primer pockets as well.

Occasionally the sportsmans guide has a 50 off coupon which puts the ammo at 29cpr shipped. Just picked up 3400 rounds.

I wish I would have bought more of it before the march ammo ban nonsense happened. Seems that prices still haven't come down to where they were last year. ****ing stupid ATF. Anyways, OP-this stuff is GTG.

thanks!

I bought some Wolf and found it to be pretty (about a 2 foot flame from my 16") hot and not very accurate for target work. Shot a hand full and canned them.

If you have a 556 barrel and don't care about fine target work it should be ok. Great for rapid fire blasting.

Normal Wolf and Wolf Gold (5.56) are two completely different things.

Normal Wolf = Russian junk which is ok for basic use.

Wolf Gold = is made in S Korea iirc and is actually pretty good stuff.
