Just ordered a new 3 Way (12V/240/Gas) camping fridge. I finally gave up on my old one last year (it was really only the 12v that was shot but I could not fight it anymore !!).

And what do you think Arch?

I bought a lot of rough cut dried lumber to build my house with this summer, and traded a trap shotgun that I couldn't hit any clay with for a new xd45 mod2.

Product Information

Kizer Cutlery, 3416A2, 2.5 in S35VN Drop Point Blade, Linerlock, Green Handle Folder

After almost loosing the tip on the Christmas blade the grand kids got me I thought I should maybe find something else to carry all the time and reserve that blade for special occasions.

The new camping fridge arrived last night. Unpacked and happily running (down to freezing) overnight. I am away for a few days this weekend so it will get a run then, not on 12v thought as I need to do some wiring in my truck to accomodate it. I could do a fast job (that is safe and works) or a a good job that I am happy with, I will go with the second option but just don't have time to do it before I leave Friday.

Andy,
Sorry if I missed this, but what is the power source for the fridge?

Gun Dog,
I shoot rather large quantities of Wolf Classic and Black Box (polymer coated / steel case 223) and have never had a problem. I'm curious to see how your Gold performs, because I have a piston AR that doesn't like Wolf Steel Case. I need to try a Carbine buffer in it before I start spending extra cash on brass case ammo (currently has a H2 buffer).

I've probably shot in excess of 10,000 rounds of polymer coated / steel case Wolf and outside of: A) being very dirty; B) being on the weak side; C) providing 2-3 MOA accuracy its great training ammo. I often chide "steel case haters" who spout off the standard "would you put 89 octane in a Ferrari" line. The fact is, Wolf steel case will pay for itself very quickly:

SHIPPING COSTS OMITTED

Wolf Steel Case / Polymer Coated 55gr = $225/1000
PRVI Brass Case 55gr = $320/1000
Federal 193 = $400/1000

Using the cheap brass case as a comparison:

BCM MidLength Upper with Charging Handle & Bolt Carrier = $585

Cost Difference B/T Steel & Cheap Brass = $95/1000

$585 / $95 = 6.16 Cases

Every 6.2 cases of steel case ammo funds a whole new upper.

Brass Case For Training = Fools Gold
