A: Thanks for reaching out Travis! We haven't determined this ammo's muzzle velocity yet, nor has Wolf published that info. However, in general the only subsonic 300 AAC Blackout cartridges have 200+ grain bullets. At 145 grains, this ammo is without question supersonic.

A: Thanks for reaching out Cecil! Berdan primers are not at all corrosive by definition. Some older military surplus ammunition, especially from Russia, very often has both Berdan and corrosive primers – but that's just coincidence. As opposed to a Boxer, a Berdan primer has two flash holes and no internal anvil; the priming compound utilized in modern Berdan primers is every bit as non-corrosive as what you'd find in a Boxer, though! You should really only suspect old milsurp as having corrosive primers. If it's new production, it's non-corrosive regardless of primer style.

A: Thanks for reaching out Peter! Brass is better than steel because it is more flexible, which conveys three key advantages.
1. Reloadability. Because a brass casing returns to its original dimensions once it is fired, it remains reloadable. A steel casing does not do this, and is therefore generally regarded as not reloadable.
2. Cleaner Performance. A brass case expands to seal the chamber during ignition, which helps to prevent carbon fouling from accessing the chamber. Relatively inflexible steel does not seal the chamber as effectively, which is the main reason a lot of shooters complain of how "dirty" steel cased ammo fires.
3. More Reliable Extraction. Brass cases tend to cause fewer extraction issues in a semi-automatic, because they're less likely to lose their original dimensions during ignition. This isn't to suggest that steel causes a lot of failures to extract, although you could reasonably expect the problem to occur more frequently.
Brass is more expensive than steel, however, so a lot of shooters prefer steel cases when they're trying to save money. If you're comfortable accepting steel's downsides, then you'll welcome the money steel cases can save you

A: Hello Jerry! I'm a great fan of Wolf's ammo, but I'm afraid I haven't got any experience with the MDRX. Wolf is divisive. A lot of people love it; many others report problems.
I personally believe your rifle could run this ammo reliably. This fella on YouTube appears to experience no problems running steel-cased 5.56 through a MDRX: youtube.com/watch?v=f_NkFo7EqoM&ab_channel=InRangeTV
Ultimately, though, I have to defer to Desert Tech on the matter. They do not recommend steel cased-ammo for their rifles and say it could void the warranty: deserttech.com/blog/classroom/related-resources/ammunition-resources-desert-tech-rifles/
If you'd rather play it safe, then I think you'll like this American made brass-cased 300 Blackout by Red Mountain Arsenal: luckygunner.com/300-aac-blackout-125-grain-otm-red-mountain-arsenal-20-rounds

A: Hello Shawne! The full metal jacket (FMJ) is the basic type of bullet you would want for range training, target practice, and plinking. Unless 300 AAC Blackout ammo is specialized for hunting or self-defense, it almost certainly has an FMJ bullet.
