How does the fowling of the Grendel steel case stuff compare to normal ammo in terms of fowling?
As for comparisons of accuracy, it ought to be compared against other service grades of ammunition. And, a person would have to shoot some good sample sizes before conclusions.
In this case, mean accuracy would be about 3 1/2 minutes.
Good (for service grade ammo) would be from 2 to 3 minutes.
Exceptional (for service grade) would be around 2 minutes.
Upper three percent (for service grade) would be 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
You guys are shooting this stuff through rifles that are far superior in workmanship to service grade rifles so it ought to hold around two to three minutes. My bet is it is a four minute blaster from a service grade barrel. Like the other Wolf ammo, it is the bullet. If you pulled the bullets and seated 100 grain match bullets on top of the same charge, brass, and primer I bet you would cut the group sizes in half. I did this with Wolf MPT. Removed the 120 grain PPU bullet and replaced it with a 120 Match King.
Can't do anything about the low velocities. Wolf seems to go that route. No doubt due to safety concerns.
