Is Wolf non-corosive?

I am considering this:

Some "de-milled" stuff I have seen SAID it had new primers, but stuck up a Ruger Mini 30.

Is the Wolf brand 154 gr SP a good and non-corosive load for < 50 yard deer?

I can't tell you if they are corrosive, but if you are planning to reload them be careful of the flash holes. I lost two decaping pins when small holes captured the pins and pulled them out of the die. I had to remove the case from the shell holder with a screw driver. This was with Wolf 45 ACP ammo. I immediately dumped the cases in the trash.

I haven't used the 154 but have used the 122 gr FMJ and hollow point. It's dirty, but not corrosive.

dodgestdshift - It's steel cased and berdan primed, so reloading it is difficult at best, next to impossible at worst.

Short and correct answer. No, it is totally un-corrosive. I have used tons, and i hardly ever clean my guns. No rust ever yet.

Actually, SOME of the Wolf pistol ammo is Boxer primed. Have seen it and have read of people actually reloading it. But, I think the flash holes ARE a bit smaller than normal and you would need to play with the decapper to make it work right.

Not worth it IMO but it IS possible to reload them if you really want to.

dodgestdshift - My apologies. I reread your post and originally failed to realize you were talking about wolf 45acp. My post was directed towrds 7.62x39.

Recoilrob - thanks for pointing out my mistake. That's what I get for "scanning" instead of "reading" posts.

thank you

I will buy some then. Reloading is out as I would not break even vs 21 cents

Wolf is non-corrosive. HOWEVER, it leaves huge amounts of residue, which draws water from the air. If you leave the gun uncleaned, it will rust.

On second thought

I'll pay the ten bucks for the better USA made stuff

It's steel cased and berdan primed, for all practical purposes it isn't reloadable, it's good plinking ammo though.

I have used quite a bit of their 122 grain hp and sp in my AK. No feed or fire problems, but as stated before,it is not corrosive, but it is dirty.

I tried shooting both in wet newspaper to see what would happen. The soft point usually folded over about 1/3 of the way down from the tip and tumbled. The hollow point seemed to go more in a straight line, but almost shattered completely into five or so pieces.
