saw a thing on it on another forum, whats the verdict on this stuff? my beretta likes it, but if theres something wrong with it i wanna know before i pick up a case, since this stuff is real cheap around here. thanks for the help-

[ojibweindian]

It smells real bad and is dirty. But, it is cheap and did work, without fail, in a P95.

You are aware that Wolf uses steel cases. I have no idea what kind of wear it will put on your extractor.

[JBP]

Some people swear by it some swear at it. It's dirtier than most ammo (the laquer that they coat it with) but I've fed two cases through my CZ75B and it hasn't given me any problems and is as accurate as anything else I've fed it.

[PlayTheAces]

Over the years I don't recall ever having it fail in an SKS, so I decided to try some of the .45acp to see what would happen.

Shot a box (or tried to) in a Colt 70 series. About every third round misfed, and this gun usually isn't too picky about what it's fed. I gave up before the box was gone.

The stuff is a little dirty, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a gun that would cycle it. I just never got around to trying it in anything else. Think I still have a box of the .45 - one of these days I'll load it into moonies and pump it through my 625.

[BigJake_old]

Hey thanks for the info guys, just curious about the stuff since i'm sorta a greenhorn when it comes to ammo and such. It does seem dirtier than most, but i've shot it though my 92 and a couple assorted smiths, and they all cycle the stuff with no problems. thanks again !

The topic of Wolf ammo comes up frequently. The price can be appealling. STAY AWAY from he stuff!

[BigJake_old]

hmm.. 10 ring, any specific reason?, this is what i meant, if its going to corode my gun like thermite, i aint shooting it, so do tell.

[Diesle]

I swear AT it. The cases dont like to extract out of my Springfield 1911. I wont try it in any of the others. Steel cases, not brass... With nasty crap all over them.... No thank you!

I fired 1000 .45's last month and no problems .

[Beren]

Wolf ammo can be a problem is "wimp" guns. When matched with Glock perfection (flame suit on! :) ), it's a cost-effective means of target practice. It does however stink and require more clean-up than other brands.

If you can afford the Wal-Mart white box 9mm for $10.96/100 rounds, go for it instead.

I've fired a few thousand rounds through my Glock M17 without a problem. I imagine it would feed fine in a Beretta, but I don't know how durable the Beretta extractor is.

Some folks laugh at me for putting such cheap ammo through my $500 Glock. These same people are always asking to borrow gas money.

[kalibear45]

It gets your gun very dirty and the steel casing wreaks havoc on your extractor. I would buy reload before I buy Wolf...

[Kahr carrier]

Pass on Wolf.:D

[Nightcrawler]

Put a box of it through my CZ-97B. Not one lick of trouble from my Czech beauty, but it is pretty dirty. Cycled and fed just fine.

This pretty much sums up my experence with Wolf. Commie ammo for commie guns!! My Makarovs and SKS love the stuff!! My Ruger P95 tolerates it. The rest balk at it!!

[meathammer]

If I had an AK/SKS, sure. I don't. My Beretta 96 ate a box with no problem. (.40S&W 180gr.) Grabbed a second box, jammed on first shot. FTE. I had to hammer the casing out with a dowel. Tried a different box, same thing. This stuff is junk. Poor quality control in my opinion. It's a real shame too, because the box I did get to work, the accuracy was actually not bad. I also think this ammo was designed for Commie style firearms. (Even though they are making it in U.S. calibers.)

[10-Ring]

The only ammo related problems I've seen w/ factory ammo have been related to Wolf ammo.
Example 1: Buddy took a class, brought 1000 rounds of Wolf & his USPc 45. 3 rd mag into practica portion, FTE, FTE, FTF. Eject mag, insert fresh mag, same results.
Example 2: Cousin w/ brand new 1911. Wouldn't feed more than 1st round, effectively making it a single shot.
Example 3: Saw a guy at the range w/ a S&W 625. After shooting, the steel cases had expanded and were difficult to remove. Had to pry out w/ a screw driver (even w/ the moon clips). Gave him some of my ammo and it worked very smoothly and properly.

3 negative experiences, non 1st hand, is enough for me. Wolf ammo is a waste of $$

[foghornl]

My 1/50th of $1....

Communist Bloc Ammo for Communist Bloc weapons. Do not mix Communist Block ammo with American/Canadian weapons.....

Saw a Springfield so jammed up guy had to force it loose with dowel rod through the barrel, broken extractor on a new Kimber Ultra Carry 10-2.

Ammo propellant is 1 part sawdust, 1 part used kitty litter, and 5 parts 50/50 molasses & stink bomb.

[Roadrunner]

I have no problem putting it through my AK (5.45x39), but I'll stick to U.S. brand ammo for my handguns.

[bountyhunter]

"Pass on Wolf."

I agree, but you mis-spelled "piss".

[jsalcedo]

Wolf ammo works great. I have fired a ton of it out of all my .45s and 9mms.

It is really not that dirty compared to unique and green dot reloads I think its cleaner.

Yes wolf smells a little acrid... wear nose protection.

Steel cases mess up the extractor? The US military used steel cased ammo for years during and after WW2 and arguably
gun parts are stronger today.

The steel used in wolf ammo is soft. The chamber does not get hot enough to melt the lacquer.

Now if you have a poorly made gun with poorly made extractors
and crap tolerances then well maybe wolf ammo is not for you:neener:

[vi9er]

I'm with a few others here, but probably for different reasons. I only shoot wolf ammo in my sks, and american in my american pistols. I just don't think that the different countries are very friendly to each other!

[Brad Johnson]

Over 1000 rounds of it through my Springfield XD-9 with zero failures of any kind.

Stinks a little, but it's cheap and it works for plinking fodder.

Is my FEG Hi-Power clone a US pistol (because its a copy of a US design), or a ComBloc pistol (because it was made in Hungary)?

Must be US, because it HATES Wolf ammo. I bought 500 rounds, and quit after 400 or so.

I had spent cases STUCK in the chamber so hard I had to pound them out with a dowel. They fed in there perfectly, but would not come out. Couldn't be melted lacquer, naaaa. I must have a tight chamber. But Wolf is the ONLY ammo that has ever stuck in my chamber.

My extractor broke around round 400. Might not have been related, but when your slide cycles and case stays behind and the extractor gets ripped off the rim, that can't be good for it.

I run Wolf in my AK all the time. But I won't let in near my pistols any more.

[Jackanape]

I like the Wolf rifle ammunition a lot (7.62x54, and 7.62x39). It does smell a bit funny though, and you'll be spending more time cleaning your firearm...

The only handgun ammunition I would use by Wolf is 9mm Makarov, as my experience with any other Wolf handgun rounds hasn't been to great. No FTE's or extractor damage, just not especially accurate and stinky to boot...

By the way, the Wolf rimfire ammunition is GREAT! I just picked up a brick of Wolf Match Target .22lr for $20.00, and it's as good as $4.50 a box Eley Club Xtra in my Ruger Single Six, and CZ-452. I can't recommend the Wolf .22lr ammunition enough. Reasonably priced, and accurate too. What's not to like?

[Beorn]

My indoor range does not allow the stuff.

They don't like what it does to their filtration system (?). They also said something about the traps in the back.

So the sign reads, "we do NOT allow Wolf Brand Ammo of ANY TYPE."

The reloads at my range are almost as cheap, and they are good enough to have the minimum IDPA power floor, so everyone's happy... Except Wolf that is!:D

[bredda]

So the sign reads, "we do NOT allow Wolf Brand Ammo of ANY TYPE."

There's a couple of ranges around here that also say no to Wolf. But it has nothing to do with any filtration system. They can't make any reload money off the casings. There's also signs posted that say, basically, if you shoot here, your brass stays on the floor.

[vulcan]

I haven't had a stuck case, But the extraction is pretty hard on the gun. I shot some thru a glock 26 9mm & the cases had bent rims. For range ammo I like S&B.
