the wolf is more so made for AR's and the like instead of good bolt guns. and i wouldnt try anything but either v-max, sp, or hp rounds for any animal. some of the best factory ive tried was black hills 55 gr. sp. which is what i still shoot basicly. i shoot it when i want to shoot factory and i reload almost the identicle load for everything else. ive not had much luck with finding good ultramax stuff. and as far as the win 45 gr. goes its not bad stuff. i shot some and got a bout 1.5" groups at 100 yrds. if you go with cabelas stuff id get their 55 gr sp. its the cheaper of the "good" stuff. the vmax work well but they are more expensive and the sp's do just as well same with the hp's imo. so all in all if i was going to get factory stuff id go for black hills first then the cabelas bulk. if you are near one it would be betterprobably to just go get some seeings that freight is so much and then they cant give you the back order crap.

I would also like to point out that my cabelas order of Wolf 55gr FMJ ammo cost me about $4 more than if i would have went to Academy and bought it there. Monarch Ammo is going for 2.89 a 20rd box so do the math. After you figure in shipping and time waiting for the ammo it may be cheaper to go get it local. If you can find it. (i bought the last 10boxes of monarch .223 from academy today.)

Shooting in the .2's......With a .223.........With Factory ammo.....
..............With an Ar-15?
I've toyed with some seriously accurate rifles and cant help but view this with skeptisim.

Make sure the Wolf isn't lacquer coated. When the AR chamber is really hot, it causes the lacquer to melt off of the case, and when the chamber cools, the lacquer is permanetly stuck on. This has destroyed countless AR chambers. I think Wolf has since done away with the lacquer, but if you're buying any online or over a catalogue, make sure to ask first.
