Wolf at Target Sports for 30 cents a round

oldhunter1954 Wrote:For us newbies. Verdict seems to say to expect 2-3 moa. I believe 2 moa at 100 yards is about 2 inches. I just purchased 2 - 20 round boxes of Wolf 100 grn FMJ steel case.
Is the accuracy of Wolf ammo due to the steel case, type of powder, type of bullet they load ?


Bullet. The vast majority of rifle accuracy comes from the quality of the bullet. Particularly in the >1.5 MOA range or so. All the other factors can matter, but not in 2 MOA ammo. From what I've seen with the 100 gr Grendel Wolf Steel, is the powder handling is actually quite good, with <20 and usually single digit SD of velocity. I find that nothing short of Remarkable. Only my best care, carefully tuned handloads do that good. Point being, I see very little reason dumping and replacing the powder. If I were doing Mexican Match (*), which a lot of people do to good effect; I would be confident it would make pretty darned good ammo, if I put a good comperable weight bullet over the unmolested powder charge. A 107 SMK in particular, would likely shoot amazing.



(*) non-derogatory term coined via the US rifle team, based on the expedient practice the had to do at the Pan American games in 1959, Held in Mexico
