.223 & mil surplus ammo
« on: October 01, 2007, 03:48:46 AM »
Will the Handy shoot the .223 "wolf" ammo, or is this a similar situation to the 7.62  where the Handy fails to fire at times?

Wolf will shoot.
Just not worth a darn.
True mil surplus is not recommended though.

Filthy dirty and inaccurate. It may shoot alright in the AR'S but not recommended for fine rifles like the Handi. ;D Kurt
