I'd buy some if my AR could feed it. As it is I've got about 200 rounds of Tula that is useless to me. I wish I could use ammo at that price point.

You should sell those rounds to me at a reduced cost. I'll make sure to dispose of them properly.

Runs fine in mine too.

Ill take em. Do you reload? I have some casings

Might be a stupid question but...I heard once the rifle heats up the lacquer covering on steel rounds will melt somewhat and gum up the parts. I'm new to AR's so this is more of a question than a statement.

There is an element of that and I wouldn't want to shoot hundreds of rounds of it and not clean it afterwards, plus it's really dirty ammo. But that wasn't what was happening to me. My rifle was short stroking and failing to properly pick up the next round (even with a carbine weight buffer, not an H). About every 3rd round wouldn't even leave the mag, and every 10th or so would pick up improperly and get the bullet jammed into the upper locking lugs on the barrel extension and require mag removal for clearance.

I believe that my rifle may be undergassed for this lightly charged ammo. I'm going to try to source a lighter buffer spring (specifically for this light ammo) and try this stuff again and see if that will get the bolt to fully cycle so I can use the cheap stuff.

Great deal. I could feed this to my 551-A1 without any issues, great plinking ammo.

The newer Russian made ammo is not covered by lacquer, more like polymer coated to helping w/ feeding- has been for several years. Now, is it loaded light and very dirty? - most likely, will it actually melt lacquer off the case? - probably not. Do a test yourself w/ a torch on "empty" lacquered cases/shells.

Although, there might be some old stock w/ lacquered case, w/ new name floating around somewhere, the pictures shown on web is lacquered case ammo (green case), but described as polymer coated (gray color).

Hmm, tempting. Burned a lot of my stash at the last Engage carbine class. I'm not really sure what to make of the guys who won't run steel... I guess they either pay through the nose, reload, or don't shoot nearly as much as I do.

BTW, current production Wolf is supposedly made at Barnaul now, so it's a step up from the old Tula ammo they used to be selling.

I don't get to shoot my rifles as much so I guess I don't feel the price pain as much. My main dislike is the how filthy the stuff is, but in my 551-A1 I could care less. I'll save the others for my AR's.
