An insider instructed me “The .223 prices about 3.99 a field so I purchased 4 containers to be thrifty, however once I started capturing it on the vary, the bolt of my Rem. 700 would get caught and never be capable to open. Once I took it in, the smith mentioned there was a bur within the chamber (it was a used gun), however now that that is mounted, it’s nonetheless protected to shoot the remainder of that ammo within the gun. I’ve heard issues about Wolf Ammunition being dangerous for barrels and different components. For individuals who do not know what it’s, it’s dust low-cost metal cased ammo made in Russia in .223, 7.62X39 and 9mm?”
“It is junk. It is low-cost, and also you get what you pay for. I couldn’t get any of it to cycle in my HK compact .45, or my Colt 1911! Different individuals who I’ve talked to who purchased it for his or her SKS rifles didn’t get constant accuracy.”
“Good dependable, pretty cheap ammo. Get the Remington ammo from Wal-Mart within the yellow field with black writing on it. “UMC”! The .223 ammo I purchase .223 at Wal-Mart for my M-4 and it’s lower than $4.50 a field after tax. Bear in mind “Remington UMC”. I purchase their .45 ball in bulk and .223 by the field.”
“Up to now Wolf ammo was fairly dangerous on high quality, although a couple of years in the past I heard it had gotten higher and I purchased some, did not have an issue. Since then I’ve fired a number of thousand rounds of .45 ACP, .223 and seven.62X39 and haven’t had an issue. Sure, UMC is superb ammo as properly. The .45 ACP ball is what I carry in my 1911. (I’m not too massive on hole factors).”
“I used to be on the Tacoma Bulls eye gun vary and was utilizing wolf ammo and my HK USP .45 full sized jammed. It jammed so dangerous that I really wanted one of many gunsmiths to get it out. He simply smacked the deal with actual laborious along with his hand whereas holding the slid and 2-3 hits later it lastly ejected. The HK USP 45 is likely one of the finest handguns ever made and might deal with all ammo…besides wolf that’s.”
“Upon inspection of the metal casing I may see a complete failure of the casing with a high to backside break up on it. I keep away from this ammo in any respect value. Go to Wal-Mart and by American Eagle ammo. It is low-cost and American made and dependable. Bear in mind…you get what you pay for with 17 wsm ammo. Do not threat your life to save lots of a buck.”
“I purchased some containers of their 7.5x55mm Swiss for my K31. Appears to work simply superb. Additionally Boxer primed and reloadable. However then I feel I’ve heard it was manufactured for Wolf someplace within the former Yugoslavia. So they might be attempting to enhance their high quality. I’ve used all 3 sorts of Wolf Ammo. Shot over 500 rounds of .45 by my Glock 30 in per week with just one jam. A number of hundred rounds of seven.62mm with my SKS as properly with no massive points.”
“Nevertheless, I’ve a AR-15 that jammed fairly dangerous utilizing the wolf ammo. After lastly getting it out (with a rod down the barrel) I went and shot once more. Someway the bolt was jammed within the higher receiver and I’ve but to get it out. Appears like I will must take it to a smith and presumably exchange it. Do not know if it was the ammo or the weapon although.”
