So I picked up about 1000 rds of Military Classic Wolf recently, and just got back from the range. I was a little hesitant on using this stuff after reading some bad reviews on Wolf on here, but I must say, it was pretty good for plinking. I fired about 200 rds, and was very impressed. I had 3 FTF's the whole day, but I also picked up some "new" used mags, so it could be that too. All the FTF's came from the "new" mags, not from my new Colt's.

I would definately purchase the Wolf again. The gun was dirtier then when I fire brass, but not as dirty as when I fired the Barnaul stuff.

Just my $.02

I prefer MC as plinker ammo as well.  I'm not a fan of the black box stuff though.

In theory, the black box is a copper jacketed bullet with a lead core. MC is a bi-metal jacket (copper-washed mild steel some would call it) and has a lead core. MC bullets will attract a magnet, and (in theory) the black box stuff won't.

Generally, BB Wolf is also boxer primed, and so you could reload it once, if you wanted to.

People like MC because it seems "hotter" and so has fewer cycling problems. YMMV

Black box Wolf is manufactured at a completely different plant than the MC stuff.  And it's only "some" black box Wolf that's Boxer primed-read the box before purchasing if you're concerned about it.

MC is good plinking/range ammo. All it's really good for. But, it keeps me from shooting up my good stuff and enables me to afford to shoot more.
