I received an email from Nancy this morning saying the plinking round will not be back in stock until March...

Wolf is a fine match for a $195 SKS. Wolf sells tons of 7.62 x 39 for that purpose.SnakeLogan said:Not sure if this has been answered before, but why doesn't Wolf make 6.8 SPC?
Wolf does sell 6.5 Grendel. Enough people made enough noise that they added it to their line. Either way, I won't shoot steel case either.owenslee said:Wolf is a fine match for a $195 SKS.

But a 6.8 SPC AR is very different. A $1200 or more 6.8 SPC deserves better ammo.
I suspect Wolf understands that the market would be very small for a low quality ammo to fit a high quality, accurate $1,000 to $2500 weapon.
I don't shoot anything with a steel case...ESPECIALLY with a lacquer coating that causes a failure to extract after it glues itself inside a hot chamber.
The polymer coated are better... but a steel case does not seal the chamber as well as a brass case. On a gas gun...that is one added variable to avoid.
Because Bill Alexander does it in the 6.5 doesn't make it a good idea.
A high quality less expensive round like the SSA 6.8 SPC Plinking round for $12.99 a box is an entirely different matter.
Just my $.02....

Maybe the cases were stressed by the chamber?? My friend reloads 5.56 with Wolf Gold brass and has had no problems at 5.56 pressures?Tim_W said:Well a 6.5 guy tried reloading he case of one of the Wolf and it blew up with a moderate load. The thread is over on 65 titled I blew up my gun or something to that effect. I didn't read it over to carefully as I really could care less but I got is was a wolf brass case he tried to reload and it was below a max load.
Wolf makes 6.5G because it is based on the 7.62x39 case... It's a very easy transition for them to make 6.5G brass.SnakeLogan said:Not sure if this has been answered before, but why doesn't Wolf make 6.8 SPC?
