Wolf brand ammo

I know, I know, just trying to find some cheap shootin' ammo to have fun with my AR. STAY AWAY from Wolf brand ammo. That is the filthest ammo I have EVER shot. It fouled my AR so bad after 20 rounds that the action had to be manually cycled. Shot some in my T.C. Encore and after 20 rounds, it looked like you poured a handfull of sand down the barrel. Jeeze, what a mess. You really need to scrub too. DO NOT buy this stuff!
 
I'd heard good stuff about the new wolf gold, to the point that I'm considering getting some in .223...but otherwise it's stays AK food. Remember, russian ammo in russian guns, amurican ammo in amurican guns. Easy. And while we're at it, if someone's hearing this about wolf ammo and going 'really?', I should probably tell you not to get a m16 upper in 7.62x39. and don't get a .223 ak. If you wanna weenie bullet ak, get a 74.
 
Sounds like you got the Laquered stuff maybe. The newer plymer coated cartridges don't foul the action the same way and aren't as dirty. I put 200 rounds through my 1911 this weekend with zero problems.
 
Went to the range with a friend this weekend and he had some wolf .223 that was given to him. We both had brand new ARs. His FTF every round with the Wolf so I gave him some LC 55gr and presto, problem solved. I'd shoot it all day long in a SKS or AK but that's about it. Does Wolf use the same dirty powder in the gold label? It wouldn't matter if they didn't. They want more for their gold that I pay for LC or Radway surplus.
 
Wolf Ammo

And on the other hand my two .45 autos, Mini 14, also fire flawless with Wolf steel laquered cases. An aquaintance who legally owns a 1928 Thompson allows that his sub-gun has no problems with the same ammo.
 
stay away from WOLF

You get what you pay for. I bought 200 rounds in .30 carbine and about 1 in 5 would not fire. I normally use remington UMC brand in the M1 .30 carbine, and have never had a problem, same with magtech ammo no problems (sometimes cheaper than WOLF). Also, wolf is steel cased (hard on chamber and mags), and berdan primed (not reloadable), and the powder is very corrosive!!:eek:
 
Fired thousands of rounds and up to 500 at a time without cleaning in my AR's. Holds 1.5 inch in my best gun at 100 yards. This is with the new polymer (not laquer) coated Wolf. The new stuff is in a grey colored casing, the old stuff is green colored. The mild steel is not hard on chambers in my experience.
 
no problems

Even the older wolf laqeured fires fine in my armalite m15. Had one FTE, and that's out of about 300 rounds. It depends on the rifle.
 
That is the filthest ammo I have EVER shot.

I mean, its filthy before you even shoot it! The last batch I bought, as I was unpacking and inspecting it, I noticed it was making my hands dirty. I poured a box of it on a towel, and there was quite a bit of dirt. It must just be packed in dirty conditions.

None of my pistols would digest their 9mm. Either my cambers are tight, or their tolerances are generous, because I get a LOT of stuck cases. So I swore off it in 9mm.

OTOH, my AK (SAR-3) has no trouble with their .223. Although it is the least accurate ammo I havve tried in it.

And I just tried their .308 in a couple of rifles and it shot more accurately than I expected. Seemed a lot cleaner, too.
 
Shot thousands....7.62x39...9MM...22 Match Target....8mm

Wouldn't own a gun that was so finicky that I couldn't feed it whatever might be available in an emergency(also known as "Why I won't own an AR":eek: )
 
wolf brand ammo

Does anyone know how much it will cost for the new wolf brand gold than the regular wolf ammo? I'm kinda looking for that and see how it works. I have had some customers like the wolf in some guns and not in others though. Depends on the firearm.
 
Wolf Gold is manufactured by Privi Partizan, of Yugoslavia (now in Serbia). They are an old-time ammo manufacturer. Hanson ammo was also imported from them.:)
 
Check out Cabela's - they seem to have a good selection.

Do you mean of WOLF ammo, or other ammunition? What angers ME is that I went to Cabela's for some PMC Starfires for my .40 cal and they'd replaced them completely with Wolf's. I was a little pissed to say the least...
 
Get an AK if you want to shoot Wolf ammo! I've used it with my Romanian AK and my P14 and havn't had any problems. Never been a real big fan of anything that shoots 223 - I don't see any practical use for rounds that small!
