What do you guys think about Wolf ammo vs Wolf military classic ammo? Just curious cause I ran into a lot of military classic and was wondering if it was any better than regular wolf. Thanks all!
Works great in the Eastern Bloc firearms, AK's. SKS's, etc.etc.etc.. I personally won't use it in anything but those, but then that's me. As for the Military Classic being better then the Wolf (green cases), I think it's better.

I don't use Wolf brand ammo as it is usually coated in a shellac/varnish to protect the steel cases from rusting. That shellac/varnish whatever will begin to melt in your chamber and good luck trying to clean it out.
One of my brothers recently bought an M4 style AR-15 and he got 100rds of Wolf with it. He's not as much of a shooter as I am, so he still hasn't finished it, but he hasn't had any issues with it at all. Shoots just fine. Of course he hasn't tried any long range grouping yet.
I'm hearing that if you use the newer Wolf ammunition that specifically says polymer coating, not lacquer coating, then it won't have the melting problem that we've all been hearing about, but because it's still a steel cased round, you may get the occasional failure to extract because the steel doesn't expand as well as brass and does not seal the chamber as completely. This allows some of the powder residue to blow back between the case and chamber and make a sticky extraction.
Of course, this is all anecdotal, I refuse to buy Wolf, even though the price is very attractive right now...

This is exactly right. I've used it a lot with no problems. I won't shoot the green stuff, but the poly coated stuff is good to go.
Like the above said, the polymer stuff feeds well and is still very cheap by comparison. Just stay away from the 62 grain stuff, they underpower those loads and plays hell in my chamber.
I found a lot of 1,000 rounds of military classic with the polymer coating in .223 for only $130. I also found the same deal for 7.62x39. It looks like I just spent $260!!
how did you find that out? I talked to a buddy of mine back east that worked for a surplus store and he was reading boxes of ammo to me that said different. It could have been a sales pitch on the box. not sayin you are wrong by any means.
