bshoop13 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Has any one ever shot the wolf 75 grain? Its time to stock up on ammo again but i normally shoot a 55 or 62 grain and was wondering if the 75 was worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superA 289 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 AR-15.com has a review on this ammo. I can't give you any personal info on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SickMAK90 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Anyone know what twist the barrel on the saiga .223 is? If its 1:7 the 75 grain will be fine. If its 1:9 it will probably keyhole. I would stick with 55 and 62. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heron 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Twist is 1:9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bshoop13 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 thanx for the info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superA 289 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Twist is 1:9. Just curious, where are you getting this info from? It seems like I had read somewhere that some of the makes were 1 in 7. I could easily be getting confused though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bshoop13 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have heard both 1:7 and 1:9. Dont know how to tell what i have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heron 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Get a cleaning rod that has a swiveling handle. Put a piece of masking tape near the handle for a "flag." Put a tight-fitting patch on the rod and carefully run it down the bore. Measure the distance it takes for the flag to make one complete turn. It may take a couple of tries to get this to work just right; just watch the flag and make sure it's turning steadily all the way around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if im understanding correctly, if it takes 7 inches to turn the flag once would be a 1:7 twist an 9 inches would be a 1:9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
