Has anyone had Wolf rounds fail to fire? If so in what caliber I never have had one in any of the calibers I shoot fail. I have had S&B, Winchester, Speer, surplus stuff, and a few other brand have failures. But I never have gotten 1 failure of Wolf to fire |

zero failures with the wolf poly (never used the old laquer tho) I have probably shot a little over 2K also I keep them loaded in my vest for months and have had no probs with that either. Some even after shooting in the rain putting my gear away wet with the ammo still in the mags and no problems. *note I keep my stuff loaded with my gear not for SHTF but for the next time I go out shooting im ready and dont have to load out in the field |

Out of 500rd of Wolf 7.62x39 JHP, poly coated shells, I had 1 failure to fire. The primer had an indentation but it did not cook off. Out of the 500rd of Wolf 7.62x39 FMJ, only about 10 or 15 were really accurate (sub-2 MOA). Everything else was everywhere. They were shot out of a Vepr K in 7.62x39 (RPK variant). |
| Shooting Wolf 55gr FMJ Poly. No odor, no unusual lead fowling. The ammo feeds fine, does not leave any coating residue in the chamber. Went through 500 rounds in a new Colt LE6920 on 11/13. No problems. I buy the ammo in 1000rnd case for $110 at my local dealer in Oregon. The dealer is selling so much of this stuff he buys it by the pallet. Local users are sold on the ammo. |

Had a fail to fire. Primer was hit but didn't pop or ignite the powder. I put the rifle down for a couple of minutes and checked. The primer was dented more than usual. It also looked like a 'gooy' substance was coming out of the primer pocket. I didn't pay too much attention, bullet wasn't budged so I tossed the round in the trash and went on with life. That's the only failure to fire I have had thus far. ETA: .223 was the caliber |
----------------------------- This has been my experience also. I use Wolf in 9mm, .45acp, 40sw, .223(both 55 and 62gr), and the 7.62x39 all in both new polymer and older lacquer coated. I have never once had a failure to fire in any caliber. Three weeks ago I ran 800+rds of 62gr lacquer coated .223 through a Ruger AC556 without a single ammo malfunction. The fumes were a bit stronger than normal but it all fired fine. I also fired 1500+ 9mm from an Uzi, 400+ .45acp in a Thompson smg. and 500+rds of 7.62x39 No failures in any of them. This was one days shooting at the Westfield MA shoot. |
