I guess the next time I go shoot my WASR-10 I better yell at it for working and being accurate enough for what I am doing with the Wolf ammo. Well, I mean since most people here say it is junk. Funny, it has never failed to fire or eject. AND I am not nearly as religious about cleaning the rifle as I probably should be.
Thinking more and more about that AR-15...plusses...seems to be ammo finicky and needs more cleaning and oiling to keep it working. Ummm, no thanks. |

Just shot some Wolf 9mm. No problems.
I don't have anything in 5.56 so I can't comment on that. I did just run a hundred rounds of Wolf 9mm through two pistols. No issues. In fact I had two FTE on the Taurus 99 and one on the Taurus 111 with some older Winchester ammo.
The only issue I had with the Wolf was a failure of the slide to lock open after last round. Only happened once. Normal cleaning. No observed unusual residue in either pistol. Am planning on using it for practice and continuing with Silvertips for defensive needs. I know the tests. I like the silvertips. |

About two years ago my old boss and I used to shoot together, mostly on the weekends. I learned a lot from him as he was an ex-sniper. over time I ended up working off a Mini 14 ranch rifle he had. He would shoot his M1A and I would shoot the mini. When he gave me the rifle he also gave me the 2000 rounds of wolf he had ordered but hadn't received at the time. when he got it in he gave it all to me for free, and personally I haven't had one round go wrong. I personally think its a great round for the mini. I clean my mini everytime I have it and there isn't a lot of barrel dust at all. Now I've also shot PMC and that made the barrel real dirty. anyways, I'm almost out of that wolf and don't know what I'll shoot next.
anybody wanna sell theirs!!! Also have had none of it "stick" |

Only real problems i've seen with wolf and AR's is if you dont clean the gun well, you'll run into trouble. Other than that, the ammo fucntioned just fine.

My buddies and I shoot wolf almost exclusively and have for several years now. No one has had any trouble yet. I will readily admit that Wolf .223 is NOT good for shooting anything over 200yds or so (you'll get about 2.5MOA max), and I do not hunt with it anymore. I load my own 55gr Vmax for that. I don't buy Wolf anymore because I can reload .223 much cheaper than I can buy Wolf (crazy times, eh?). I just found about 200 fresh Lake City 5.56 brass at the range last time I went--that makes reloading extra cheap.
Anyway, I still have about 750 rounds of Wolf 62gr JHP on hand that I will not hesitate to put through my M&P15 next time I get a chance. Back when I had a Bushmaster National Match (sold), I fed it 270 rounds of Wolf 62gr JHP in one afternoon and it never choked. I have a feeling that the instances of stuck cases are from folks who don't clean their chamber correctly. There also seems to be a trend of Frankenguns (homebuild ARs) choking on wolf a lot. Yes, wolf is low quality ammo. Yes, it will gunk up your chamber if you don't clean it between sessions. But I've never had a problem with it in several years and several cases of ammo. Don't want it, don't buy it. |

OK, I'll just relate my own experiences since everybody seems to have their own opinion why Wolf works intermittently in ARs.

My WASR and my mini-14 love wolf and they both eat it without a problem. Dirty powder is about the only complaint but when you reload you think that every factory powder is dirty!

I would like to see the RockRiver warranty, and if it has the anti-Wolf steel cased ammo void of warranty. If it in fact says that, then I will not buy another RockRiver product.
Steel cased ammo is fine to shoot, yes it may be harder on the ejector and more dirty, but w/ the money I save on steel cased ranged ammo I can buy a whole lot of extra extractors. This seems to be a classic case of another know it all firearm salesman. |

Thanks a lot guys... just keep in mind I was talking about Wolf in AR 15s... not Wasr or mini 14s, I don't doubt it feeds fine in those.

You can draw a picture for some people and they will still accuse of axe grinding or "harboring an agenda". Only their experiences count for anything in their own little world. Let them figure it out on their own.
