Maine Cartridge is relatively inexpensive and brass cased. I use Wolf in my AK and SKSs but loathe to put it through my ARs.

Can anyone comment on Maine Cart? They seem pretty good.. Comments?

  There's a poll on www.ar15.com where people can give their results with different ammo. Maine hasn't done too sporty. Lots of people seem to have probs with it in AR's. BUT, the in the last few posts the results have looked better for maine so maybe they got their stuff together. You have to order with MO or cashiers check so if you get crap you can't contest the charge on your credit card and make them take it back, so you're taking a chance by getting it unless you don't get it directly from maine cart. The new poly wolf has run fine in all the AR's I've seen it put into (including an American Spirit Arms piece of junk that will hardly feed any ammo, including brass stuff). I wouldn't touch the old laquer wolf, and I certainly wouldn't trust the poly stuff if my life depended on it, but for less than .10/round it's great for killing empty coke and beer cans.

  I've never used any of their stuff, but in years past they've set up at a lot of the regional gun shows and I wasn't overly impressed with what I saw of their offerings - they came across as a low cost bulk reloader of plinking ammo more than anything and I know I could reload better for myself for less money (recognizing I'm not trying to make a profit when I do so). But they may well have improved.
