MP1522 making me want to go center fire

[SPARC]

I bought a bunch of Wolf lacquered steel case in the prior century and have put thousands through my Bushmaster with zero issues. See the excessive primer and bullet sealant drippings on both ends of the case in the pic below.... but the ammo has always worked well.

It's my understanding that a great deal of the issue regarding stuck cases is the result of carbon build-up in the chamber from a poor seal with steel case. I don't shoot brass after using much Wolf cuz most of the stuck cases I have seen are brass after shooting steel. Considering all the primer and bullet sealant goop on this old Wolf ammo I don't leave a round in a hot chamber to cook. I usually shoot no more than 200rds during a range visit. YMMV

All of my 5.56 ARs will eat Wolf ammo, but on some of them I have to change the buffer out for a standard carbine or the bolt won't lock back. My AUG bullpup won't reliably cycle Wolf ammo.

My biggest complaint with Wolf is simply how dirty runs. It's not unusual for us to go out and eat through 500 - 700 rounds during a shooting trip and shooting that much Wolf will simply gunk my gun up without a really heavy cleaning.

I shoot 62gr PRIVI M855 or 62gr PMC XTAC almost 100% of the time now and I absolutely love it. It can be had for around $300 per 1000 and hold really good groups with all of my 5.56 guns. I shoot my own reloads for the 6.5 Grendel and 6.8SPC, but I've thought about picking up some Wolf Gold 6.5 loads from AIM and giving them a shot for range ammo.
