Wolf, PMC brand .45 ammo ok?
« on: November 21, 2005, 04:15:03 PM »

I like the prices I see for buying Wolf and PMC .45 ammo
in bulk. Do they perform ok in the CZ 97B? I don't plan to do any match shooting or anything, just plinking.

Personally, I don't like to use Wolf because of the laquered steel case.
I have no experience with PMC.
Generally, I buy Sellier & Beliot(sp) or Federal American Eagle.
I'm a pretty boring guy, I only shoot 230 FMJ rounds in whatever brand.

They new wolf is coated on a black polymer which is OK. I would use it but I can get Independence brand ammo that I like better for about a dollar more per 50. I would use the new wolf but would not use the stuff with the green laquer on it personaly. I would go CCI Blazer instead. It can not be any worse than dirty white box fro Wal-mart.

I really like CCI/Blazer.  Semi-hot, consistently loaded, and accurate.  Not as dirty as WWB or Wolf.  Also like Sellier & Bellot.

<lowers head and raises hand>  Yeah I pretty much shoot the cheap Winchester ammo from Walmart in the white box.  hehe...  

But honest to goodness for plinking and general target shooting I've never had a problem with it lol..

I actually really like the PMC fmj.  I've been shooting it for a long time, in particular my kimber goldmatch, believe it or not, actually groups really well with it.  

I am not a fan of wolf ammo for pistols.. although I don't mind it for my revolvers.

As for Wolff Ammo in general, I try to stay away from it!  The only Wolff Ammo I tend to use is their 7.62x39 in my AKM and SKS, but if I have a choice I'll use the East German Surplus or Barnaul.  ( I'm shooting up the Wolff 7.62x39 and .223 I have on stock and will not be buying any more.)

As I reload, I don't buy much .45 ACP Practice ammo.  But if I did not, these would be my preferences, in the order shown.

1.) Magtech 230 grn FMJ
2.) S&B 230 grn FMJ
3.) Federal 230 grn FMJ
4.) PMC 230 grn FMJ
5.) CCI Blazer Brass 230 grn FMJ
6.) WWB 230 grn FMJ

When I first started shooting, I shot a lot of PMC and came to think it was junk.  (What it probably was, was that the gun I was using just didn't like it.)

More recently, I started shooting 9mm PMC 124 gr. hardball, and I'm getting very good results -- and can buy it cheaply locally by the case.

Walt, is that a typo?  I've never seen 124 gr hardball in .45acp, or are you refering to 9mm Nato load?  On another note, have you shot the PMC 200 gr FMJ/SWC?  Sounds like it would be fun plinking round (as long as it can cycle a CZ97 w/16# spring).

Not a typo, just a lack of clarity on my part.  I was speaking of PMC as a brand, not specifically of .45 loads.  Sorry.  

I've amended the message above.  (My original experiences with PMC were with their 9mm 115 gr. hardball; I hated it.)

PMC makes good ammunition, Wolff is one I would stay away from.

Just my .02
