The recent loading of the 124gr Wolf "Military Classic" HP shows promising performance. This ammo is made by Ulyanovsk using their 8M3 bullet, and has been shown to fragment in several tests:
7.62x39mm Sapsan 124 gr JHP (Ulyanovsk Machinery Plant) from 16” AKMS
BG: vel=2297 f/s, pen=15.0”, Max TC=10cm@18cm, RD=0.63”, RW=100.5gr
I hope you guys realize that Wolf hollowpoint is a closed-base bullet, whereas the FMJ is an open-base bullet.
If you are talking about Wolf or Barnual HP, its no better than their FMJ as its just a FMJ with a hollow core.
Kind of a big gun for home defense.
The bases on the Wolf HP's I pulled were the same as the FMJ, which was the exposed lead, roll crimp boat tail you usually see on our military loaded ammo. Our bases are usually nice and clean with no imperfections, where the Wolf had a lot of "smears" and distortions, which I think contributes to their varying levels of accuracy.I hope you guys realize that Wolf hollowpoint is a closed-base bullet, whereas the FMJ is an open-base bullet.
