Hornday reboxing Wolf?

[chevellenut71]

Looks like hornday is reboxing Wolf ammo... I guess no one is buying there Hight dollar stuff.. And even there steel case ammo is high

And now maybe all they guys who are afraid to shoot STEEL in there AR's will cause Hornday sells it now....

Miculek is always raving about that stuff (I'm sure he's paid to say it's great)... I'll stick with brass.

Doesn't appear so. It uses a Hornady copper-jacketed bullet (no steel) and is loaded to match POI/POA with their TAP rounds.

Might be worth trying.

You are getting a Hornady bullet on a steel case. The bullet isn't bi-metal which means indoor ranges will let you shoot it.

I just checked my wiki arms app. You can get brass case ammo cheaper than that...

 

[Caeb75]

The cases are sourced from overseas. Everything else is done by Hornady. This was developed for police departments who use TAP as duty ammo to be able to train at a lower cost. There was a segment on one of the outdoor shows about it a few years ago. Is it cheaper than a lot of brass cased? No. Is it cheaper than TAP? Yes. That was the goal.

For those who want to give it a shot, go for it. It is excellent ammunition, and does not have a bi metal jacket.

Don't the Russian manufacturers also make non bi-metal jacket steel cased rounds now?

 

[alucard0822]

Their brass cased stuff is great in just about any caliber and purpose, the steel cased, at least for the 7.62X39 I have used was not simply repackaged, it used their bullet and powder in an outsourced(likely Tula/Wolf)brass case with berdan primer. Probably the best accuracy I have ever gotten out of my Yugo M70, and expanding design bullet with terminal ballistics better for some uses like hunting. For 5.56 I'm not a fan of steel cases personally, much less taper than com-block calibers, so it is much more prone to stick in a chamber, especially a tight one, not reloadable(hornady brass is excellent), and as much or more than some comparable brass cased mil-spec ammo. For me it wouldn't have a purpose, for others it may fill a role between cheap 4+MOA blasting ammo, and pricey match ammo.

I wish they'd put their Steel Match ammo out again. I hate losing brass during 3-Gun matches and their Steel Match pistol and rifle ammunition was very accurate out of my competition guns.

Yes

The steel case feeds fine in my AR, 1911, 9mm i dont understand why all the hubub...

I dont reload and policing your brass with a magnet is priceless

I don't understand it either but some guys just won't shoot steel, they say it will hurt there soft precious AR's...

 

[Topher]

All I know is I was an RSO for about 5 years working one weekend a month. 99% of all AR problems were with AR that were shooting Steel cased ammo.

Again. I don't know what the problems were. There was a VERY HIGH correlation between AR issues and steel cased ammo.

As a result I reload and stick with brass.

Just my two cents.

No. Miculek is notoriously cheap. He'll shoot just about anything if the price is right.

 

[ironpony]

Hornady started offering those about a year ago. I don't mind I'll shoot that chit, would rather have the brass to reload though.

 

[erwos]

The 75gr Steel Match ammo is TERRIFIC, one of the cheapest ways to get into the heavy bullet game. I always buy it when it gets reasonably priced.
