This is a pretty active forum, compared to most.

understanding twist rate and its relation to what ammo is appropriate in your gun will allow you to make informed ammo choices for all of your firearms in the future. it's an important thing to know. i recommend you do some research. if you buy ammo that is too heavy, it will tumble. if you buy ammo that is too light, it will disintegrate.. on the extreme end. at the very least, you will be having to dial your sights in for any ammo that isn't ideal. ammo isn't cheap. knowing a little math and physics can save you from expensive, inappropriate purchases.

Two posts.
First, asking where to get cheap (read as inexpensive) ammo.
Second. Acknowledges information given. Disappears.
Is it just me that noticed this??????
Hi chipd,your barrel's twist rate and length is what determines what ammo you want. if you have a 1:9 twist rate, with a 18" barrel, 55 gr is appropriate. make sure you know your twist rate when you go ammo shopping. if you have a longer barrel, less twist is needed to stablilize your bullets, but not by much. if you search the forum for this stuff you will find a wealth of info.
Hi Schipperke,Are there a lot of Laura in South Korea?
Yes.. the law of diminishing returns...Knowing a little math and physics can also cause expensive and inappropriate purchases.
I pretty much only shoot wolf gold now. It's Taiwanese surplus loaded to true M193. I believe the Pentagon actually bought some 300 million rounds from them back during desert storm. Almost always back of 30cpr and I've actually never had a malfunction. As far as I'm concerned, it's gtg.I'm a big fan of PMC 55-grain .223 for my 1:9 twist barrel. Good stuff and I've never had an issue. Cases can usually be had for ~$300
I've heard good stuff about Wolf Gold too.
I use gunbot.net to look for the best price per round

Observation: he started an intro thread last night too. Bought a rifle from an IP here (JLowes) after doing his homework on MDS. Seemed to have good manners.
Conclusion: you're reading too much into it.

Wolf Gold is the bomb. Cycles in every gun of mine and is sufficiently accurate. Much better than PMC Bronze. Usually available for 30 cpr somewhere. Target sports USA and the armory.net are good sources. If you need less than a case, go with sgammo.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along, but as far as I know, Wolf doesn't produce anything. They seem to mostly work out long term arrangements with actual producers. Wolf Gold .223 is produced in Taiwan, whereas any other Wolf Gold cartridges (most of the other cartridges of the gold line seem to be discontinued) could be produced at any number of other plants/arsenals/whatever you call a place that makes ammo. Wolf polyformance, steel, and .22 match ammo all seem to be produced wherever Wolf can get long term contracts. Some of their stuff seems to be produced at various locations in Russia, some in Eastern Europe, etc.+1 more for Wolf Gold. I stayed away from it for a while because I had bad experiences with Wolf WPA steel ammo. I'm honestly not even sure that they are the same company. Gave it a shot in my own little accuracy test at 100 yards with my wylde barrel and found that it outshot far more expensive ammo.
In regard to an earlier post about Wolf Gold being surplus...it may be loaded to perform like military ammo but it is .223 cambering and doesn't have crimped primer pockets so it's the better of pretty much all worlds compared to surplus.
