[QUOTE="MBB, post: 1212065, member: 2658"] Anyone else have problems with this ammo? I replaced the extractor on my USGI M1 Carbine not long after I shot the first Wolf cartridges through my rifle. It wasn't gripping the case rims as well as it should and was causing stovepipes or simply wouldn't extract the case from the chamber. I figured it was just time to replace it. As far as I know, the last time it was replaced was in 1953 during arsenal rebuild. Since replacing the extractor with a Fulton Armory extractor (I replaced the entire bolt group too), I shot about 300rds of mostly Remington UMC, with 50 of the last 100 being Wolf. I had no problems until I went to the range this week. It worked fine for about 10 shots, then no extraction. I take it home and the "claw" of the extractor (the part that grips the rim of the case) is sheared off. There is no claw any more. I'm inclined to think the steel-cased Wolf ammo is breaking the extractor. Anyone have something similar happen to them, or any naysayers in the group? [/QUOTE]
