Good on ya SteveI44.

I agree that Wolf ammo is very dirty and has a lot of soot after it fires, but it goes bang every time and is much cheaper than most.

I use the Wolf .308Win in my CETME and it means I have to clean it a lot more than normal, but it's worth it due to the price of ammo.

I'd rather spend just a little more for better ammo. My Bushmaster deserves better (and she appreciates it and never complains or lets me down).

I would say shoot a bunch of different kinds, pick a budget one for plinking, and a premium brand for accuracy work!

I wouldn't if the Wolf ammo you got is the green lacquer/clear coated stuff? If it is an Eastern bloc country type firearm such as an AK or and SKS, by all means, shoot a crap load of it, those seem to eat it up. But American made rifles, I wouldn't use it. Personally, I also wouldn't want to shoot anything out of mine unless it was brass. Personal preference is all.

I know this is a dumb question, and that's why I'm not wanting to start a whole new thread for it, but I hear that Wolf, for instance, has a tendency to "stovepipe"... what exactly does that mean?

A stovepipe is when the slide or bolt rides back quicker than the spent casing is ejected and actually catche it, pinning it and preventing the gun from going back into battery.
