Wolf Brand .30 carbine ammo

keywest
Does anyone use this in their military m-1 carbines ? If so , how would you rate it's performance . It's unbeleivable how expensive .30 carbine has gotten and wolf seems to be the cheapest that I can find . If you know where I can find some better quality ammo I would greatly appreciate it . Thank you in advance for your comments .

    You can order S&B online from Cabelas for .44 per round, and for less in bulk. If you have a local store, they will drop ship to that store at no additional cost. The last time I ordered it, it took about 6 weeks to arrive at my local store.

    EDIT:

    Quickmajik:

    I've never heard this about S & B. I use Federal (American Eagle) most of the time, but it has been unavailable locally for months. What is it about the S & B that is hard on extractors? I have put 100s of rounds of S & B through the Carbines and the Automag. Is there something I should be looking for.

    Thanks,

    Don

    I dont use wolf or S&B, its hard on extractors. Or it is with my carbines. I stick with the American brands even thought it is more costly.

    It will go bang but that's about the best. It won't be as accurate as other brands and will be dirty. I've heard both sides that steel cases are hard on things and that they are not. I don't shoot wolf. You realy should start reloading. I'm loading 308 for less than what wolf 308 cost now. Check out the auction side of GB and you may be able to fide a decent deal. Also, search the net and you may find something.

    I only shoot Wolf in my AKs. 2 mil reds can't be wrong!

    Wolf and any other brand of steel case ammo is not what I would shoot
    much of in any gun I wanted to keep for a long time. Besides the fact that most of the cheap steel case brands have very little quality control, it is harder on the parts of the gun. Brass is known as a "self
    lubricating" metal, steel is not.That is why brass is used for bushings,
    sleeves, bearings, and many other places between two other pieces of steel.bob

    i have shot @5000rds over the years in my dpms m-4 rifle never had a problem, i have shot my 30 carbine with wolf ammo never had a problem, brass is always better but in thses time with US ammo manufactures going crazy on ammo prices and the US population driving the prices more and more higher buy what ever you can get your hands ahold of is what you are going to shoot.

    I have used Wolf steel case in my .30 carbine for years. - Never an issue and it's very accurate in my carbine - like 2 1/2" groups at 100yds. My carbine is scoped. I like Wolf, cheap, reliable, accurate. I will buy lots more!

    I collect and shoot older military guns and I have one of my M1 carbines that was made in 1943. That is over 65 years old and no telling how many rounds went thru it. It runs as well as the day it was
    made. Most people have used steel case ammo for about 10 years or less. Take a look at your extractor, magazine lips and other parts in about
    25 years from now, steel cases have to wear them faster than brass.

    It's ok. Nothing great though.

    I handload for mine with hard cast lead with gas checks. Turns a 5 MOA gun into a 2 MOA gun, with just enough powder to operate the system. And no, no problems with gas port plugging (and I'd know I think after about 10k rounds). Cost? About a dime a round.

    If not interested in reloading or such, Wolf will work but it will never be my favorite.
