    The bi-metal jacket wears your barrel faster than copper jacket.

    Its bloody awful.....

    Took my semi Mk II up to the range yesterday. Used a bunch of 1951 RG surplus which worked fine, one failure to fire in every 120 rounds or so, which to be honest isn't terrible.

    Switched to the wolf steel cases and immediately wished I hadn't. Out of 10 rounds, 5 cases ended up with case head separations at the neck. 4 of the times the next round feeding into the barrel ended up not seating (obviously) and pulling the ruptured case head out when I recocked the gun. The 5th one I had to use the old ruptured case extractor (which always works a treat )

    I would not recommend this ammo to anyone.
    The greatest LMG to ever see service in the British Army...........................
