I didn't have any problems. It'd outsourced ammo. I believe it was S&B or PPU that makes it

From the video review it seems like pretty good stuff. I have not seen it for sale locally for me but I think I'll buy some in bulk w/ some income tax time b/c Ive seen it on a few sites

I asked the guy next to me at the range the other day about it because that was what he was shooting and I have been seeing it available on line for reasonable prices. He said no problems, it shot good. I asked where was it made and he said he didn't know. We looked at the box and it said made in Taiwan. I don't have a problem buying stuff made in Taiwan. It's the made in China stuff I avoid.

Wideners had it for a Black Friday deal. It was like $350 a case or something. I cant remember but it was cheap. I bought 5 cases of it and so far shoots great.

Edit: Wideners has it now for $356. I got it for $340 on black friday

I just ordered some for $350 shipped 1,000, but haven't shot any. Did read good reviews though. Aim Surplus has it in stock for $350 + Shipping.

China doesn't import ammo. But when they did their 223 was on of the best

Yep, Wolf like TulAmmo and Herter's are just importers and distributors, they don't manufacture anything.

Last I checked Wolf Gold was PPU which makes some pretty nice ammo. Fire away.

I see mixed reviews on the web. So, I'd buy40-50 rds. and test it. Go from there, but don't buy 1000 rds. before testing.

Don't worry, buy 500-1000. If you don't like it there is always another panic around the corner.

Thumbs up

I just ordered 1000 rnds of it from Target Sports USA for $349.95 and FREE shipping.

Stack it high & deep at that price for brass cased, Boxer primer 223 ammo that's .50 a round (at least) everywhere else.

OR you could go to Wal-Mart and have at the 720 rnd count of HQ (?) brand ammo at .63 cents a round!

I have no problem with buying it in bulk from the start. does not appear to be any different then any other .223 ammo out there except its cheaper.
