I was stumbling around on Track of the Wolf and found this.
I don't have a rifle in this chambering, but I know some of you have rifles chamber for this animal, and these seemed like ultra cheap ammo prices, but not sure.

I bought a box last year for my somewhat oversized bore 40-65 Marlin 1895 and they did hit the pie plate sized target at 100 yards.
For the price, it's a deal; I will buy more when I need some more brass to reload.
The reloads I made ( with the PMC brass) and my cast 310gr bullets over 5744 powder, were very accurate, showing 1" groups at 100 yards from a bench.

That really is a great buy and good to hear the report from Otterray. I was wondering about the quality of the loads. Sounds reasonable. Does anyone know if they were loaded with XMP5744??? Sure want to keep the pressure down with my Marlin 1881.
Sure would be tempted to buy some but I'm not shooting my 1881 near as much since I got my Marlin 1893 .38-55.
Thanks for the info. guys!
