| I know the old ammo had a green laquer that could become sticky if the gun were hot... but what about the new polymere coated ammo? Any good? Would be buying in the 9mm caliber. |
|
I've used gobs of it in 9mm and 45, never had a problem except 1 squib. Luckily, that 1 was weak enough that it didn't cycle the action. Used a cleaning rod to push the bullet back out of the barrel. Just be sure and get a good price on it....if you can't get it for less than $10/100, buy WWB. |

Wolf is all I'm shooting right now in .223 and 7.62 COMMIE. The stuff I bought recently didn't have the laquer coating, so I don't see how it could cause any problems at all (barring a bad round, which everyone has from time to time). I can't see myself buying any other kind of ammo right now for my AR's. It's cheap. It's dependable. It works! The only reason I would consider buying Lake City or some other different ammo was if someone let me shoot their M16 and had an ammo preference. Their gun, their rules! ETA: In the past I've gone thru about 1K rounds of the laquer coated stuff without any malf's of any kind. Maybe I was lucky, maybe not. |

Shot up about 300 rounds of the .45 out of a USP so far. Accurate, consistent, and reliable so far. Seems to be loaded just as hot as everything else...something Wolf .223 cant attest to. For the price (128/1000 to my door) Ill keep shooting it. The nearest to that is 180/1000 for the WWB/Federal/Etc brandnames. |
If that's a shipped price, it's good. Otherwise, get WWB. |
| I have shot over 10k rounds of Wolf through my 1911 45's. I doubt that it is all that accurate. I can tell about 15% have a lower velosity while shooting. But who cares its cheap and the more you shoot even with Cappy ammo. The better you get. I had rather shoot 2 cases of Cappy wolf than one case of something good. Just my $0.02....... |
| Bought 2 Boxes of Wolf and had 1 overloaded round, the case actually split in the chamber and had to be popped out with a cleaning rod. The rangemaster said that if I was cheap and didn't buy a USP that I would not have any fingers. My outlook on things buy HK and dont buy Wolf it's QC is garbage!!!! |
Yup... thats the full price. |
