Putty Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 OK...so explain to me why people refuse or hate to use Wolf ammo? Some say it's dirty and others say the steel jacket ruins the gun over time. My take...extra dirty...more cleaning. Big deal /subject.

KillJoy Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Berdan Primed = Non-Reloadable (without VERY specialized equipment) Also, Harder Case = harder on Chambers. :thumbdown: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 So even more of a reason not to grab an AR if my life depended on it like in the other thread....amirite? You more than likely to come across a national gaurd truck with AR mags and 5.56 ammo. Also the Wolf stuff is mostly steel cased and its harder to eject and like said before harder on the bolt. The steel case doesnt have enough give and it will get jammed in the chamber as opposed to the softer brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 my take is about the same as yours putty. extra dirty and more cleaning. its main benefit, to me, is that its cheap. i used it a fair amount in my SKS until i got a bunch of soviet surplus ammo at a gun show. i just plink with it though, im not doing any type of precision shooting or anything lol. the soviet ammo is dirty too, but not as bad as the wolf. i give my all my guns a thorough cleaning after use anyway, so the extra dirt isnt really that big of a deal for me. it takes some care to keep things in proper working order. just like with cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ef8sirJunkie Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 the previous owner used wolf in my sks and i have a bunch also the main problem is there is a lacquer on the shell that when putting some threw heats up and sticks to the barrel causing the shell stick in there or jam. happened to me alot you have to clean it very well i have alot im going to waste but then will probably just buy brass jackets.

LJ Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's hard on chambers and extractors. If you get laquer cased, it will gum up your chamber. It is also dirtier and can cause failure in your gas system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawbinder Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I put thousands of rounds of the shit though my guns and never had any problems in my AK, AR and my UZI. Its not for precision shooting its cheap shit for fun. If you dont get the laquer coated stuff your fine. You just cant reload the stuff and make sure you clean your gun good after each shooting session as you would any other time and you will be fine.

HAOLE Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I bought two boxes of .45acp years ago. The power they use is very corrosive, it put a pit in the gun toward muzzle. I would never use it in a gun you care anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolen 5.0 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 In my bushmaster, I've had the best luck with wolf 55 hp ammo. I know it's dirty, but I've never had a casing lodge in there, just a few jams. I've shot lots of winchester and federal .223/ 5.56mm with nothing but problems. I think winchester is more of shitty ammo all the way around. my glock, springfield, smith and wessen all hated it. I'm sure i'll get hated, but my M4 likes wolf ammo, and it's accurate. and it's hard to beat the price to just go out and shoot for fun. I won't shoot wolf in my handguns though, sellier and bellot all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
