Wolf ammo,your honest opinion?

[helz_mcfugly]

Ive used it in an SKS, AR15, Glock 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. it makes my guns a tad more dirty but worked fine. Ive heard its ass. but like I said. It worked for me. Ive heard it can damage your gun but have never met anyone whos gun was damaged by it. I dont use it anymore because I reload but I would if I had to because its cheap.

 

[Tommygunn]

I have heard that Wolf ammo can be rough on the M-1 CArbine's extractor, for whatever that means.
I had a collection of it for my carbine and decided I will not use it.
To me, it isn't worth it.
Other opinions may vary.

 

[ZeSpectre]

A little under 1k rounds through an SKS
A little over 450 rounds through a CZ-82
One dud (9x18)
One definite low load (9x18) that basically dropped out of the barrel.

Saw someone jam an AR up tight with it once (at least we think it was the ammo, never really did verify).

Pretty dirty and smells funny but works fine in my old commie steel.

That's about all I can say.

I tried Wolf in my Yugo SKS, made me glad I had the bayonet for self defense,
numerous fail to fire, fail to extract,accuracy on a par with shotgun. In Wolfs defense, my brothers Yugo loves it, his was made in 1968 mine in 1970. I've had the best results with Brown Bear in mine , His does better with the Wolf. I guess it's a toss up.

 

[dirtygrunt95]

Put around 500 through my M1A, no problems at all and it's cheap so I'll keep buying it. Will probably even start using in my 1911 to.

 

[OOOXOOO]

Its dirty and cheap, however it runs in all my weapons fine. Sure I've had rounds that don't go off but no squibs or over pressure loads. It's great for plinking or range shooting.

 

[Blofeld]

Conversely, I've had WWB that failed to boom.

 

[SoCalShooter]

I have shot a lot of wolf through my SKS's without failure...however I do not recommend using the chinese training ammo (plastic bullets)

 

[zoom6zoom]

I've got thousands of rounds of it through my AK's without a hitch. They don't use the lacquer coat any more, it's all polymer coated now.

 

[loneviking]

They don't call it 'dog crap ammo' for nothing! Stinks, very dirty, frequent FTF's in my CZ 82. I've quit using it.

 

[elkyote]

My PA-63 eats it up without a hitch! I will say that the Military Classic is loaded noticeably hotter than Barnaul...

 

[texas bulldog]

it's extremely dirty, but it's cheap and it feeds in my SKS without a problem. i certainly don't think it's doing any damage that can't be avoided with a good (and immediate) cleaning after each range trip.

 

[tinygnat219]

It's like McDonalds.

Cheap and satisfies that craving, but it'll leave you scrubbing a lot of different parts.

No issues with it. It goes bang just as easily as everything else and it dirties the chamber like everything else.

 

[1KPerDay]

For the M1 Carbine particuarly, I've READ that Wolf is underpowered compared to standard ball ammo and may or may not function reliably in your rifle. If your rifle likes it, fine.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

My experience is mixed, was several years ago and seems to indicate that different guns have different "tastes" for it. In .223 caliber through a Mini-14, it was accurate (with this gun that is a relative term), but the lacquer coating that was then used caused a case to stick in the chamber. New production is supposed to have a polymer coating. I had failures to fire with .45 ACP in a striker-fired Glock 30, but not a hammer-fired SIG P220. Nine-millimeter in a SIG and Glock pistol was perfect. In all instances the powder left a lot of residue and smelled bad, somewhat like burning hair.

My usual advice is to try a small quantity in your firearm(s) before committing to a larger purchase.

 

[M2 Carbine]

Wolf ammo,your honest opinion?

I've shot and still have thousands of rounds of Wolf ammo.
I'm still shooting Wolf that cost me $54/1,000 round case.

For the Commie guns it's fine but not accurate.
I have had nothing but trouble with several thousand rounds in the .223 rifles and pistols. (old and new Wolf)

I would still buy Wolf for the AK's , SKS, Makarovs, etc, but I don't because my reloads are much better quality, more accurate and cheaper.

 

[rugerman07]

Cheap an dirty

That's pretty much what I've heard to. But I've never heard of it damaging any guns.

 

[NonConformist]

Because of Wolf I still can shoot a few times a year.

Never had issue w/ it and will continue to use it!

 

[feedthehogs]

Cheap, dirty and not that accurate.

All the things I look for in my time spent shooting.

I guess if you set your expectations at curb height, you can't be too disapointed.

 

[Gottahaveone]

I've run several hundred rounds of the Military Classic thru my Stag with no problems. It's not that dirty and seems about on par with bulk PMC in regards to accuracy. I have more time than money so if it takes 10 extra minutes of cleaning it's still worth it to me. Buying a few boxes and trying it for yourself is the only way to know for sure. Best of luck with it.

 

[Double Naught Spy]

I recently put about 400 rounds of the Military Classic 9mm through my Springfield 1911. It is somewhat dirtier than Blazer, but after 400 rounds, the difference isn't significant.

Accuracy? It is good enough for me to practice head shots at 25 yards without any trouble.

I get a kick out of the supposed extractor wear issues with Wolf and Blazer. I could buy a new extractor with every other 1000 round case of ammo and still same $ over brassed ammo.

A buddy I shoot with has a Glock in 45 acp (I don't know the #) and has pretty much just shot Wolf for years ... and is on the same original extractor.

 

[f4t9r]

Dirty and I do not use it.
Some I shoot with use it and thats fine with me. When it comes to cleaning I'm done way ahead of the others

 

[XD-40 Shooter]

Couple thousand rounds of Wolf fired through my SKS, I've had no issues, it goes bang, its fairly accurate, and what I'm shooting doesn't leave the rifle all that dirty. Maybe I just got a good batch.

 

[Deer Hunter]

I have used it in all my guns except my shotguns.

this includes,

9mm
.45 acp
7.62x54R
5.56x45
.308

Never had a problem, but I prefer baurnal.

 

[esmith]

Some people say that it shouldn't be used in ARs but i don't really think it matters that much. It will function probably 99% of the time. If i had an AR i wouldn't be using it though, because i would be getting better accuracy with better ammunition, which is what i would be going for out of an AR, accuracy. If i were plinking, sure i wouldn't mind.

I remember some guy on here pulled the bullets from 20 wolf black box and found they deviated quite a bit in weight. I believe he found some were anywhere from 5-6 grains lighter in some cases.

Bottom line:
Wolf is good for plinking, as its cheap, but it won't produce groups as good as some other ammo brands will.
