Contact Kodiak. Either way they need to be aware of the issue, and if they want to inspect your rifle, they'll let you know.Originally Posted by jiffx2781
.223 wylde is a such a joke. Just chamber in 5.56. Its not wolverine's fault that the market calls for it but I wish it wasnt even an option.
OP'd by jbrow397:
We held court on the Internet and as usual, all parties are held in contempt.
Yea, kodiak may want to know that their rifle doesn't shoot within spec ammo and most people won't like the idea their rifle has been chambered incorrectly.
I would never hold onto that rifle, it's under warranty, get it fixed. It also ruins it's resale value.
It sucks to happen, hopefully you guys get them back quick.

Mine is going back to Kodiak to be throated so I can shoot all 223 ammo.
Will this be necessary for all of the WK-180's out there? I got mine but have not had it to range nor do I have a vast knowledge on how to check for these issues. How do I know if something is wrong? Please advise, as I was gonna go by the range this weekend if I can make it out and do the break in procedure per the manual and just some general shooting.
So far it has only been an issue with the Hornady varmint express 55gr vmax. Avoid this ammo and your rifle should run like a Swiss watch. Your rifle does not need to go back, just don’t shoot the vmax or any ammo with a long COL and long bearing surface. As far as knowing if something is wrong you will know if you inspect your brass, blown or pierced primers are a pretty good indication that something is wrong.
Seriously. My accuracy shooting .223 from 5.56 chambered rifles has been fine. I guess I could squeeze out some tighter groups with this 223 Wylde...
Nope, see the pics I posted - S&B 69gr 223 (marked 5.56 on case) is the same blowing primers. I measured it against AE 55 bulk and AE 62 and it is also 'long' like the vMax.

Sorry I missed that Paul. As long as you use ammo with a short bearing surface there shouldn’t be issues.
