9mm Mak: Wolf PolyFormance or LVE?

[bbrown]

What's the difference in performance (if any) and quality between the 9mm Makarov ammuntion made by Wolf (specifically the PolyFormance brand) and that made by LVE at the Novosibirsk plant?

Crickets? I guess nobody here has any information.

I'll find out today. I'm going to the range. I'll fire some Wolf 9x18 and then some LVE. I bet there's no difference.

Here's the report. The LVE shoots the same as the Silver Bear that I had with me. I ran out of Wolf ammunition. I tested the ammunition in a CZ-82 and a P-64. Same performance in terms of accuracy and not failures whatsoever. You're good to go!

Thanks for doing that!

Ammoman sent me the LVE instead of the Wolf PolyFormance (I presume because they ran out of the Wolf). How does the LVE "dirtiness" compare to that normally found with Wolf stuff?

Anyway, I'm hoping to get out to the range with my CZ-82 (and some others) this weekend, weather permitting, so I'll chime in later.
