First off, I apologize for the cr@ptastic photos.

Anyway, this is a brand new, out of the box round. Tula (aka Wolf) 9mm 115gr FMJ.

 

 

 

 

Would you trust this round to go bang? Or do you think it'll go ka-boom instead?

 

It was the only round like this in the box of 50. I know things can slip thru the cracks in mass production, but this thing looks like it was kicked down a concrete road before it was packed in the box! :shock:

I say it goes Bang..... it is the finest of all Soviet Engineering. =P

Geeez thats bad. Quality control must have been asleep at the wheel.

 

I would shoot it....in one of Maks' guns!

Not me.

I wouldn't trust it.

toss it in my opinion

not worth it for a 15 cent or so round

It almost looks like a hole in the bottom of the case. Toss it.

contact wolf with that pic, I am sure they will send you something, or refund you.

chuck it in your next camp fire!

Don't contact me!!!!

some russian woman was chewing on it on the assembly line, she has been repremanded before..

make sure you shoot it the night I'm not next to you at the range

:pray:

Even if the case stays intact on firing, there's a chance that your ejector would line up with the gap in that rim and you'd get a FTE.

 

I'd toss it.

NO

Of course not.

 

It might be interesting to shoot "Mythbusters Style", with the gun in a vise, a string around the trigger, and you 30 feet away behind some ballistic plexiglass...

Thanks for the replies guys. Part of me is curious to see what would happen, but not enough to risk losing a finger

Give it to Matt...he'll shoot it! Triple dog dare him! Tell him everyone is doing it and if he wants to be cool, he has to do it too!

Looks like the roach - coach at the plant had Vodka hidden in with the Borsch.

I with Maks, send the pic to wolf, maybe you'll get something out of it... Like a working bullet.

What is that brown or copper looking thing, in the chunk missing out of the rim? It almost looks like the steel cased round has a copper core which is being exposed.

 

If it were at the beginning of my range session, I would set it aside and swear I was going to toss it. However, at the end of my session when I'm looking for One More Round to fill a mag or make a 5 shot group, I'm sure I would shoot it.

See Chad you can't make these generalizations when you never come out and shoot a gun. If you did you would know im somewhat of a safety freak, so that round would never go near my gun! But I know your too busy playing with little flowers and dolls etc

Matt, I've all ready planted my seed, you know my wife is prego!!!

 

As far as coming out to shoot...I know I know, I have not been out at all. Someday I will make it out and show you how a real man shoots a gun.

I'm fr doing the American thing, you should bitch and moan to the company until they send you free stuff. If after that they don't want that messed up round I'll fire it. I like thing that go boom and ka-boom :mrgreen:

seriously p i s s is blanked out? is that serious?

Chad I might be in a wheelchair by the time that happens!

At the rate I'm going....you're probably right!

WOW. I've never seen such poor quality control in ammo since Wolf hit the market. Personally I would never fire Russian steel cased ammo in any pistol I own. You are prematurely wearing the throat and extractor with steel cased ammo IMHO. Steel cased pistol ammo was designed for the Makarov and Tokarev TT-30-/33 pistols mainly.

 

I use the 7.62 x 39mm and 5.45 x 39mm in my AK type only. I've had my share of pierced primers and case separations but I've never seen anything like that before.

 

I just had a buddy of mine report that his SA M1A bolt snapped in half using Wolf .308

 

With the inconsistency of Wolf ammo I'm not surprised at all.
