I seldom shoot any cartridges that I don't handload, but in the last few months rounded up samples of a number of "cheap" 5.56 & .223 ammos (maybe ten) including Wolf Gold.I fired 100 yard groups with all of them using two new out-of-the-box Colts, an Expanse and a 6920. Both guns were scoped. While a few groups were under 2", I couldn't do that with any consistency regardless of which ammo was used.
Also tried the far more expensive match stuff from Federal, Hornady, and Winchester. Of course, as expected it shot accurately, but I found good handloads will do at least as well or better.
I have no interest in seeing how fast I can empty a magazine, but for those who do, there's nothing better than the cheap ammo. At least for me, it's been 100% reliable in feeding and firing, even if it's not the most accurate.
