Wolf buckshot is trash--a heads up - Page 2

It's called a wad or more specifically an over shot wad. Typically they're made of cardboard. Using a hard plastic for that wad seems dumb but maybe they were thinking it would disintegrate on firing but made it more fragile than they planned.

Called Wolf and they are taking it back then providing me a full refund.

So that's good. Thumbs up.

"over shot wad" awesome. Thanks for teaching me the term.

A friend put a couple boxes of Wolf ammo thru his Mini-30 a while back, - 5 days later, bore rusty as hell, just saying. Corrosive primers?

contact wolf with pics and lot#, they may replace it, might just be a bad batch.
