Wolf Gold 223

[scorpion168]

Is Wolf Gold 223 good stuff for my Windham 223? It shoots 556 also.

 

[BoilerUP]

Yes.

 

[Smcarroll]

Yes. In my experience the wolf brass isn't great quality and wont have the same lifespan as say lake city.

The wolf gold is good to go. Put a few hundred through the machine guns a few weeks ago.

Rumor from a buddy is that the Wolf Gold brass is rejected/2nd's Lapua brass. I dont know if that is the case or not, but they are loosely connected through SK so I guess it is possible. The case's did look fairly high quality to me with good annealing, sealed primers, etc...

Wolf gold is made in Taiwan.

 

[scorpion168]

I'll soon have 1000 to determine how good they are.

The load is good but brass is very thin and dents/ crushes easily, privy partisan is the opposite, shitty load and really good brass.
Let us know what you find out.

Scorpion what did you pay per 1k?

Leadbullet that was my experience as well, it's a nice hot load with brass that is soft thin junk. It was a disappointment when I bought a bunch of 7.62x54r to use in my svt 40.

I heard that as well... shipped to Russia so it could be sold in the US because of some Chinese ammo ban... Truth or not, I have no idea.

Yep, Privi is very underrated brass, I have some for my 30-06 that is on its 12th load and still going strong.

I have a couple of cases. I sighted in at 200 yards in my 3 gun rifle. I only shot 1 group after I got it dialed in. It was an 8 shot group that measured 1.07 MOA. Plenty good for three gun.

I might try this stuff out for my bulk stuff

Seems like Prvi 75gr 223 has a pretty good reputation on the interwebs...?

Wolf Gold is good to go. I've shot about 1200 rounds of it so far with no issues of any kind. Seems pretty accurate but I have not done any kind of testing with it through my AR's as far as shooting groups or anything. Right now it seems to be the best value for brass cased 223/5.56 so I will keep using it.

I'm using the Wolf Gold that is Made in Taiwan and it's been fine in my SR15's. My cousin in Taiwan tells me it's made by the ROC govt. ammo manufacturer in Kaosiung. I read somewhere that the US military bought this ammo instead of the Israeli ammo because killing muslims with ammo made in Israel may have butthurt the locals.
