Shooting through a PSA 20 inch stainless barreled upper, fitted to a rifle spec lower. The gun is a pretty smooth shooter. It is equipped with a Larue 2 stage trigger.
The wolf was not very accurate, 4-5 inch groups at 100 yards. Pretty sure it is the ammo, not the shooter. I shot two three round groups of PPU as a sanity check. This held two 1 1/4" groups. This rifle likes the PPU better than the Hornady black. I suspect it is more accurate than I am. I've never shot it from a sled, just supported from a bench.
I don't know if the wolf has a bunch of flash suppressant in it, but it is a very smokey round.
I shot ten rounds of wolf at the end of the session as fast as I could get reasonable sight picture. All landed in a 7-8 inch group centered around the bull. This group was only marginally worse than the groups I was taking my time...

This is a rare situation where I will comment that it is way more the ammo than you. Undersized bullet and the powder is filthy. If someone gave me some, I would pull the bullet and seat a 100 grain cup and lead core bullet on them and blast away. Bet it would shoot pretty well. If the powder fowled my rifle too much, I would dump it and reload the primed brass with any load I want.
