just want to get a sense of how many of you shoot wolf ammo and your experience. with ammo prices where they are, i’m really considering it on my next ammo purchase. thanks.

not any more. never shot the new polymer coated stuff, but i had half a dozen stuck cases with the old lacquered stuff, and one broken extractor claw.
I shot a 1K case of the Polymer stuff last year and it ran thru my Bushmaster like a champ. I very well may pick up 2K for this coming year for training and a class… Dam price of ammo…
I will only shoot Wolf through an AK-runs fine in an SLR95.
I also go out of my way to clean it when I’m done shooting as I’ve been forewarned that no matter what it says on the box, any ammo manufactured outside of the US is potentially corrosive.
I’ll keep shooting it until something better/cheaper comes along 
I don’t buy it but I shoot it if it’s givin to me.
i shoot it through my ak and my ar15. the new polymer coated shit runs great. the lacquer coated stuff is iffy in some guns. me and my buddy run tons of it through his m16s and we have FTFs sometimes but when we go to the range we’ll run 800-1500rds at a time so running into 5-10 FTFs isnt that bad. ive only had one stuck case with it and that was with my ak, and it was cause i heated it up too much. it wasnt that hard to fix, i just took out the mag, let the gun cool down for a bit then beat the charging handle up against wooden bench till the round came out.
Nope. I’m an ammo snob, I suppose. 99% of the time I run Black Hills blue box through my guns.
Never shot Wolf as it’s not as popular here in Canada. I’ve got a good supply of C77 Ball IVI marked, which is one of the better SS109/M855 NATO rounds out there.
Probably about 500 rounds of Wolf polymer through my LMT w/o a problem. Like Harv says, I’ll be buying more.
I have not yet shot the Wolf crap through any of my firearms, but the AR is going to be the first.
How can one tell if it is polymer or otherwise coated?
I got just under 1,000 rounds through my Bushy M4 with about 700 of that with wolf, Silver and Golden Bear ammo without a hiccup and the rest Federal etc…
The Wolf pistol ammo seams a lot more dirtier then the rifle ammo, in pistol I use Wolf .380, 9mm. 357 mag and 45 acp for practice and it seem to cause fouling faster then other ammos.
I will still buy and use Wolf and the Bear brands for practice and backup stock, can’t beat the price. I refuse to use anyone’s reloads no matter what spec’s they claim to use. Guess I’ll have to get another Dillon setup and start back into doing my own one day soon.

Wolf is all I can afford right now so its all I shoot- shot about 600 rounds of the polymere stuff so far and ZERO problems- I wont shoot the old stuff unless it’s through an AK.
The polymere does turn your fingers black from the residue…but it wipes right off.
Wolf is not bad, I have not had any mechanical failures in my firearms, just a few duds. A few meaning <5.
I mostly shoot the 9mm through Glocks, but have shot .45 in 1911s, and .223 in 55 and 62gr weights. I do like the feeling that the firearms that you own will digest anything that you give it.
The Wolf that I shoot is used for recreational plate shooting and does its job accordingly. I dont shoot Wolf exclusively, it is just a nice supplement to the day of shooting.
I dont but many of the folks I train with shoot Wolf and I have never seen any real problems. I seems dirty but it goes bang.
While I prefer brass cased ammo such as GA Canned Heatfor training, I have shot thousands of rounds of Wolf ammo over the years. I also like to use Wolf as my reliability testing round. 
Wolf is not as good a deal as it once was I haven’t been buying it for some time.
I have shot well over 3,000 of the wolf thorugh my AR and my Glock and have not had a problem at all with it. I think the prices are pretty good. I buy my ammo from Midway USA and they seem to have good prices. I have yet to try that new brass ammo that they have.
the case on the polymer coated stuff is like a greyish color. the lacquer coated stuff is a green color that has a red line around the projectile where it meets the top of the case.
Damn Right… I think ALL quality firearms should cycle EVERYTHING you give it.
The wolf shoots ok untill you get the weapon really hot!
Remember Campybobs M-4 Grant?
The polymer is worse than the lacquer IMO. The only things wrong with the lacquer were the neck selant and it was less powerful than the polymer.
The polymer generally shoots fine til you puts some brass after it and the poly residue will glue the brass to the chamber when the rifle cools.
See old painless and his test with Wolf poly and South African brass.
My experience confirms his.
only in my sks. I use Black Hills, Winchester and Federal ammo in my AR’s.
