Ive shot it before... not the most accurate stuff Ive shot, but very acceptable, and functioned fine in mine. The cases were in better shape afterwards than military brass. YMMV, but mine was very acceptable with them. no failures, just shot maybe 1/2" to 1" bigger groups at 100 yards.

Wow - I didn't see that there last week - cool - All they had was the wolf in that price range and it said (and still does say) OUT OF STOCK. OK stuff, eh???

Read up on Wolf in the caliber on this post.

It should be alot like wolf, or any other steel cased/steel coredor jacketed ammo, get a broken shell extractor would be my recomendation if you choose to shoot it. The biggest difference will be no laquer finish, the zinc is there to prevent rusting.
