Picked up a brick today. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

My CZ loves it, much better than wolf mt

Ohhh intriguing!

I just picked up a brick of Wolf MT a couple of weeks ago but haven't tried it.

Can we say "shoot off" next range session?

I saw wolf mt selling for $39 a brick, if you got it a good price, better stock up

**awp101** · 12-18-2003, 08:36 PM

Depends on where I get it. One local place wants, $40/brick for MT. Gunshow before last, I picked up the brick I have now for $25.

I figure if I find any (none to be had at the last show) at the next show for under $35 it's mine!

I bought two boxes of the Aquilas at Eric's today, I hope to try it this weekend, I would like to hear your results too Awp.

I FULLY intended to buy a TOZ while I was there, but a Steyr M9 followed me home instead...funny how that happens

Heheheheheheh.

I have vacation time coming up after the first, so that's when I get to do some serious testing.

I've never seen any of the Golden Eagle Match Target from Aguila. Bought three bricks of the Aguila SE, one each of the blue, red, and green boxes. Works great in a few of my rimfires, so-so in others, and pi$$ poor in the rest. My rifles that do like it, seem to prefer the copper washed HP (red box) to the others. The copper washed SP (green box) appears to be the least consistent while the lead SP (blue box) does pretty well in more of my rifles than both of the others. Darn stuff smells just like the Wolf ammo

My box is marked Eley Primed, isn't the Wolf that way too? That could explain it...

BTW, you can say piss here.
