Wolf Ammo myths........... - Page 2

If it's wrong to save over $800 in ammo costs through a particular rifle, then I guess I wouldn't want to be right.

Only if you ruin a $1000 rifle to save $800.

What is not a myth is that brass washed steel and steel casings don't seal the chamber as well as pure brass because they dont expand as quickly as brass.

The result is the components in your reciever are being subjected to pressure and carbon (etc) to a greater degree than shooting pure brass cases.

How do you know over thousands of rounds your reciever is just going to take it? It might, it might not and wolf is far from ultra accurate.

For my nickles worth Im not dumping bargin basement ammo in my mid to high price anything, cheap has its places but for me its not here.

I saved enough shooting Wolf 9mm, .45 and .223 from 2003-2008 to pay for the three LMT carbines I bought the week before the election and the Colt I bought in 2007. All of them have been fed a steady diet of Wolf.

Seriously guys, if you don't want to shoot steel cased ammo I could care less, but if your gonna trash the idea do it over things that actually happen with it. Things like it smells funny, it's dirty and it's not as accurate as your pet load. You know, real things, not wives tales and myths.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how tool steel is torn up by mild steel.

And mechanically all of them will take the added wear and tear of firing this ammo, its not a maybe its a certainty.

If thats acceptable to you, hey what do I care its not my stuff but lets not pretend wolf can somehow defy physics.. more pressure and gunk = more wear.

If the savings is worth it to you then enjoy... Will I run wolf out a $1500 pistol or rifle, not a chance but thats me and thats ok.

Prepare for this to have absolutely no effect on anyone's opinion!

Both truth and BS can come in any form; the written word or the flapping gum.
I too shoot whatever is cheapest for practice, and make sure to inspect, clean, and lube after every trip to the range. I haven't used Wolf, but I do use a lot of Tula which can't be much higher quality. AFTER cleaning, I see no difference between the guns that I feed crap and the guns that I feed quality.
