And, if WOLF delivered the "2,850 MV" reported in the January, 2013 Western Shooting Journal brief accompanying the WOLF Performance 6.5mm Grendel full-page ad (http://bullpupforum.com/index.php?topic=2148.0), these would be the Ballistic Results:

I am going to share some small amount of information. This is begrudgingly but the stupidity of taking a statement with such a wide context and then translating it for maximum drama is annoying.
As with anything else the statement "widely available for commercial distribution" should be examined in the wider view of what commercial distribution describes.
This does not mean that there will be no more steel ammunition until December. The deliveries have commenced and will continue. The volumes are anticipated to fall short of stocking shelves at the levels that Wolf typically sustain in the common calibers. The members of this forum should pander less to sensationalism but should congratulate themselves that the demand will outstrip supply. Grendel did not start as the caliber backed by the industry, rather we were the bastard stepchild no one wanted to see. Not bad, SAAMI approval, CIP approval, Russian Federation Approval, Lapua cases Hornady cases and ammunition, BCP ammunition, Prvi ammunition, new magazines imminent (actually late at the moment) and it does not shoot badly either.

wolf ammo is a joke at best. yes it goes bang and goes that way-------> but its dirty, inaccurate and has no place in any gun i own, i am just not that desperate. i wouldnt shoot it in my grendel even if free. but i will be happy to fire away in anyone elses firearm. heck i love fireworks.

It looks like one could indeed use the Wolf ammunition for practice. If one can "kind of" regularly hit a clay pigeon out to 300 - 400 yards with the Wolf, then they should be reasonably confident of putting the 123 gr SST into a deer's boiler room with the same holdovers and windage corrects if both are zeroed the same.

Wolf steel cased ammo allows for high volume shooting during carbine classes and a lot of other things. Fit the product to the application, and just because you have a hammer, it doesn't make a staple or a thumbtack necessarily stupid or a "joke"....Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW).
