this is awesome

thank you for posting.

 

perhaps the most accurate and objective effort i've seen on this subject...  and though i see some data missing that i would like to have seen, it is not significant to the overall objective of the test and the outcomes.  

 

thanks for posting!!!!!

 

i love this forum!

thanks, i do not always agree with the gun test mag. but unlike other shooting/gun mags they do not have make a advertiser-sponsor happy.

I disagree with their round count before oiling the BCG on wolf ammo, single drop of lube after 1000 rounds...LOL, they meant soak it after 500 rounds

i just browsed the video but i wonder why the barrel would be shot out with one ammo over the other?

You know, of the 2 AR's I have, one will shoot Wolf/Tula etc without needing to be lubed for a loooong time. The other is exactly opposite. Just depends on the gun.

i was told by a friend i trust. that a few years ago he pull some wolf bullets and melted the copper off the bimetal and a standard bullet and claims the bi-metal bullets only have a very thin copper wash, compared to the standard bullet. i do not know what the other bullet make or weight was.

maybe that's why.

Bullet material and carbon build up causing excess wear is all that I can think of.

Agreed.

When I go shooting I usually shoot 35-30 round mags of wolf, through one rifle using 3 different uppers, two uppers get 6 mags ea and my other upper gets the rest, 1/2 suppressed and unsupressed, somewhere around round 500+/- it starts to FTFeed, due to the BCG dry as a bone (shooting it suppressed doesn't help it at all), give it a shot of lube and it's GTG.

BTW the primary upper has a nickle coated BCG and that doesn't help it from locking up.
