It should shoot all ammo, wolf is fine.

I have heard some real BAD things about brown bear.

I wouldn't shoot it.Then again I don't use wolf either.

Some people will say they have had good luck with it.
Some will give you horror stories.

If you have an expensive upper don't use it.
If you don't care if you barrel or upper reciver gets damaged than shoot away.

I've seen the Bear but have not tried it.
I've used plenty of Wolf stuff (just leaves more residue).

+1.  I agree, it leaves the red primer residue on the bolt and will gunk up after a few hundred rounds without a thorough cleaning.

You can try the EE for ammo in your area for FTF sales.
I have had good luck with this sometimes but if its for a good price is gone quick.

For brass I usually use federal XM193 and can be found for about $400 per 1k.

All ammo is getting hard to find in stock.
Buy what you can if you find it since it sounds like you have no ammo fort started.

PMC is GTG.
It seems to be hot by .223 standards but is NOT at 5.56 levels.
Mine is accurate and reliable (I've only shot a couple hundred rounds of it)

I carry it in my patrol carbine.
