Shot Some Wolf 9mm today

Featured Replies

Got it for 8.99 a box. Fired thru a Beretta 92fs. Shot about 120 rounds. No problems at all. I have read a lot about wolf ammo and it wasn't as dirty as everyone made it out to be. The only thing I noticed is that it doesnt load into the mags as well. The other nonissue is that my dad just bought a reloading press and the cases arent reloadable.

 

I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Wolf is better than Remington UMC and Winchester White Box. Never had an issue with Wolf handgun ammo.

Wolf has worked fine for me in pistols and rifles, same with all the Bears. Some ppl don't like it because it will supposedly wear out ejectors faster.

 

I don't understand all the hype about 'cleaner ammo'. It's all going to make your gun dirty and your always going to have to clean it after shooting it so what's the big deal.

It's a steel casing ammo. Other that ejector wear, and lack of re-usability, is there any other reason why steel cased ammo is inferior to brass cased ammo?

The extractor issue is a myth. Most of the cons you hear about wolf is a myth. There are potentially some legit issues depending on the firearm you use it in, but these are very specific conditions and won't even be an issue for all similar firearms of that type.

The steel in the cases is much much softer than the steel on the gun. Extractor/ejector wear is another pile of BS

what savings are you guys getting?

 

I routinely pay $9-$9-50 a box max on my 9mm ammo and get to keep the brass.

 

If it was $7 or $8 I would consider, but at $9, you guys are just getting played.

 

I just picked up a case of speer 9mm 124gr for $9.25 a box.

Speer is really good stuff, good deal bry.

Where do you get your ammo from at that low a cost? What brand as well? I'll hop on that train if I knew where to find it.

Many ranges won't let you shoot steel cased ammo.

 

I heard this has something to do with scrap value of the swept up brass. If there is any steel in the buckets they get a lower rate for the brass.

send me a pm with your # and I will let you know. I bought a case for me and another member the other day. Just have to be ready for when the deals come along.

Yeah, ranges dont want to seperate the scrap, and the steel cases cannot be sold and arent worth scrapping. Instead of saying "Hey, we are greedy so you cant shoot it here" they say "Hey, this ammo is unsanfe and we dont want you hurting yourself so it isnt allowed" and try to act like they are looking out for you. I think this is how the internet nonsense about wolf explosing ammo was born.

Glenn, your correct except for one thing. Even the steel cased ammo is still worth scrapping, although the value won't be nearly as high. Remember, "metal is money!"

at 12 cents a pound, it takes awhile. Its about a tenth of a cent per case return versus 1.5 cents.

12 cents a pound, and if you have a bucket with 80 pounds of cases thats $9.60 bucks. Not bad. Unless you make frequent trips to the scrap yard, your better off just saving it for when your going with a big load of other metals.

If you have no intention of reloading, wolf is just fine. Will cycle most handguns, as long as they are broken in.

 

Some higher end or more precision ar's will not cycle it.

 

So other than that, wolf/bear/tula is just fine.

 

If you have intention of reloading, spend a tad more and get brass cased stuff. PMC is a great bang for the buck.

I can't reload Wolf so I dont shoot it. I have used it in the past and it was OK, kinda dirty but it didnt blow up my gun like the homemade poster at Bullet Hole would allow me to believe. :icon_e_surprised:

Great post. The Bullet Hole is a business, and they make lots of money on the brass you leave behind. That picture is a bunch of nonsense, I'm sure you can find other blown up guns using brass cased factory ammo.
