Wolf Ammo?

[jimonfly]

Anyone shooting Wolf in their M&P 9? I've shot a lot through my AR but not much through pistols, mainly because of feeding problems. But that's been 10+ years. My wife shoots a 9c and I would like to find something a little less expensive so we can afford more practice time.

Also, looking from some inexpensive ammo for my 325NG (45 acp). Was thinking Wolf as well.

Any comments welcome.

If you do a search about Wolf ammo you'll get alot of hits. Basically, it's dirty when shot. I wouldn't feed it to a revolver let alone my semi-autos. For about 2 bucks a box more, get PMC or American Eagle.

Yep, he's right. Wolf is some dirty stuff. I've had good luck with PMC lately, been able to buy it reasonable and it shoots good and is pretty clean.

Wolf works great in AK and SKS style guns, everything else is hit and miss. I had a friend that was shooting some Wolf .223, he had a couple where the primer went off but not the round. The primers where backed out almost all the way so I pulled them off to reveal there was no flash hole, oops!

I think he had about 3 like that out of about 250 rounds he fired that day.

I disagree with the detractors.

I have used Wolf 9mm and .45 factory ammo at several national-level USPSA shooting events, with 100% reliability.

But people get ideas in their heads.......

I've had guns that worked fine and others that choked on it. Sold two buddys M&P40c that were just a couple of hunderd serial numbers off from each other along with a case of Wolff ammo. One gun ate it up the other couldn't get a mag through it, yet but went through UMC and WWB like no tomorrow. The last time I priced it the UMC in the 250 packs wasn't that much more and gave you nice reloadable brass.

A lot depends on which Wolf handgun ammo you are referring to. They make three lines: PolyPerformance (steel case and polymer coating), Classic Military (steel case), and Gold (brass case and reloadable). I don't like steel cased ammo in any handgun or rifle with the possible exception of some of the Russian designed military autos. The brass cased ammo is OK, but nothing to write home about. Some folks don't mind shooting anything that goes "bang" through their firearms, but I am not one of them. The only selling point for any of the Wolf ammo is that it is cheap, but I prefer to use quality ammo in quality firearms.

I use Wolf exclusively in 7.62x39 for my AK and SKS and have had no issues after thousands of rounds.

I've tried it .380 ACP and .30 carbine and have ceased using it in these calibers. None of my .380 handguns will feed it reliably, and the steel cased .30 carbine is tough on M1 carbine extractors.

I agree with Carmoney.I have used it in IDPA matches and local pin matches,reliable,accuracy acceptable at close range.I cannot understand comments about being dirty,all ammo is dirty to some extent.

I agree. As long as things aren't so bad that they begin to cause malfunctions within an unreasonably short amount of time, dirtyness is a nonissue IMO. Using cleaner burning ammo is no substitute for proper weapon maintenance.

You can look around at the Wal-Marts and usually find better, brass-cased, ammo for less $$.

Just joined so sorry if this is a repeat. I traded my beretta 96 for a new M&P. went to the range with my wolf ammo (40 s&w) and had two jams in a box. casing gets stuck in cyl. and won't eject. Is this a gun or ammo issue??
