Default wolf gold 223

seeing unbelievable low prices for Wolf gold 223. do you think this ammo shoots well with the newer SW ar15 sport? wondering if i should stock up on this one in particular. Needs to shoot straight and clean!

I've had good luck with Wolf . . . both steel and "Gold."

What shoots well in your rifle may not shoot well in mine. Ask any handloader that has ever gone crazy trying to find one good load for two or more rifles of the same caliber.

The only way to find out is to shoot a box. Your standards may also be higher than someone else's.

Buy it cheap and stack it deep. It's good stuff.

I missed out when it was around $250/case, been looking for a similar deal since then. Best I see now is ~$290 shipped.

I have fired about 1,500 rounds of this through my AR. Haven't had a single issue.

Probably not going to win any bench rest competitions with it, but I'm shooting 1.5MOA with it and that's good enough for me.

I still have a giant pile of it in reserve.

It is good stuff. Shot quite a few boxes and no problems , but than again I have not had any problems feeding the 15 any type of ammo. Some shoot more accurate than others , but all feed and go bang.

Shot a whole bunch of boxes of it yesterday through my Sport and my Colt. This was my first time trying it. All rounds fed and shot well. Good ammo.

Bought a case of Wolf Gold, have shot ~400 rounds without issue, seems good to me. Mostly wanted it for reloading brass.
