Just clean the chamber good before switching back to brass cased ammo. Seems the wolf steel case lets some cabon fouling into the chamber and this will cause extraction problems with brass cased ammo.

I shoot Wolf 62 gr FMJ in my AR, works great except for an occasional FTE.

Pumpkinheaver is absolutely correct about them causing more fouling...I think that is the cause of my occassional FTE, the chamber gets really fouled and the cases stick a little.

Also, many people mistake the fouling to be either the older laquer coating or the newer polymer coating coming off of the cases. This is not true at all...its just plain old dirty carbon.

I've found the Wolf ammo to be accurate and relatively good quality at a great price but it is dirtier than most. But I can usually shoot hundreds of rounds before I really need to clean the chamber.
