My intent is not to bad mouth a manufacture, but to understand.
I was at an indoor range, and they told me not to buy Wolf ammo because it jams the handguns. There shouldn’t be any problems if the gun is cleaned and maintained. Why would they stress the idea – not to use Wolf Ammo?
I think the only pro would be the economical end.
Has anyone noticed auto-loading jams? In another thread, Privateer spoke of the smell, but I don’t care, I’m in an indoor range with a ventilation system. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
. . . of them not to provide details of which guns they observed having functioning problems, did this occur rarely or often, and the condition (cleanliness/lubrication) of the guns involved.
It is unfortunate but not uncommon for businesses to put out a bad word about products that do not have the profit potential of other products in their inventory.
I would advise (as I believe a forum member would do) that you have your guns thorougly cleaned and properly oiled, buy a box of the ammo, then make your own conclusions as to the quality of the ammo.
I've never used Wolf myself but have heard the same bad feedback from several different people. I was told the steel casings can damage the ejecting parts of an auto. The white box "Range & Target" Winchester of The Blazer Brass are equally as cheap and I have had great luck with both. As I said, I have never used Wolf but have heard the same bad feedback form too many people to take any chances.
Merely out of personal preference, I'll never use Wolf ammo in anything other then Eastern Bloc firearms, SKS, AK etc.etc.etc... whether that be handgun or rifle. I personally would never and will never use any of it in any other firearms. I wouldn't use it in a Glock, or a S&W. I wouldn't use it in a Beretta or a Colt, a Ruger or a Springfield. Again, just personal preference...

I have no problems with it; for me their .45 was no dirtier than the Monarch and did just fine in the Sig.
+1. I've shot over 1,000 rounds through my Witness .40, 500 through each of my two 1911's and over 1,000 rounds through my SKS. I've had ZERO trouble with Wolf ammo out of any of my guns. I clean all firearms after each range session. I don't use Wolf as my defense loads, but wouldn't hesitate to if that's all I had.

The part about the steel casings makes sence to me. Brass and aluminum casings are soft and steel is hard. It stands to reason the the harder metal would be tougher on the inerds of the gun.

20 million AK's eat it up as well as SKS's.
I have 500 rounds that should be here Wednesday. Thats all the surplus rifles have shot and I believe its pushing over 4,000 rounds.
BUT...no, I wont use it my ACP, 223 or other guns but I do feel its fine to use in them. Its just the Berdan primed thing and the new Wolf is not supposed to be corrosive.
I've never once had a problem with Wolf and I personally think its good ammo for the money. Even reloading, its hard to beat the cost of Wolf.
I have shot thousands of rounds of wolf. Sks,Glock,ak47,Ruger,Keltec and lots more without any problems. For plinking I love it and recommend you try it and see what you think.

I found that .223 wolf fouled up my Bolt carrier group and the upper "cavity" where the BCG slides, and left a much thicker layer of grit and black residue than Remintgon UMC .223. But they fired everytime.
i'm not an expert but i have been shooting wolf for about 11 years and i cant complain. my first ak was a romainian and it eats the stuff like pop corn. my newest is a yugo underfold and it kills wolf without a prob.
