Video Transcript:
Wolf ammo is some of the most affordable available today, and also some of the most controversial. Wolf is imported from Russia, and most of what you'll see available today is called Wolf Performance Ammunition, but it's really just the same as the old boxes that used to just say Wolf.
The ammo I tested for this video is a 9mm 115gr full metal jacket. It's newly manufactured and non-corrosive, with a polymer-coated steel case. The steel cases are not reloadable, but using steel instead of brass keeps the cost way down. Steel creates more friction than brass, so they put a polymer coating on it to help with feeding. The bullet is a lead core with a bi-metal jacket.
Now, contrary to what a lot of people believe, Wolf ammo does not have a steel core. The jacket is made of an alloy of copper and steel to save cost versus a pure copper jacket. But the core itself is a normal lead bullet. Some ranges don't like you to use ammo that will attract a magnet, mostly out of fear of ricochets or damage to steel targets. I haven't experienced either of these problems using Wolf ammo, but your range may feel differently, so be sure to check first.
I did some quick function and reliability tests with Wolf ammo in seven different guns. I had no problems with six of those seven. I did have one failure to extract on an old third gen Smith & Wesson auto. It's a great gun, but it doesn't typically like to feed anything other than brass case ammo, so it's not really surprising that I had a problem. On the other hand, the Wolf ammo worked great in the Kahr CW9 that we shot, despite the fact that Kahr recommends you only shoot brass case American ammo in their pistols.
It seems like Wolf gets a bad rap from some people. Maybe because it runs a little dirtier than other ammo, or maybe because it's steel cased, maybe because some people just don't trust the Russians. But the truth is that some guns just don't like certain kinds of ammo, and Wolf is no exception. And just like most other ammo, Wolf can be very reliable in the right gun.
I took a handgun class earlier this year, and ran 500 rounds of Wolf through my MMP in two days. I didn't clean it, or lube it, or anything the whole time. I didn't have any problems at all. On top of that, Wolf outperformed several domestic brands in a accuracy test. From a bench rest at 15 yards, the ten shot group was as good as any 9mm range ammo I've tested so far.
If you don't need to reload and you want some inexpensive, accurate range ammo, be sure to try out Wolf.

- STOCK UP!!! Great stuff Review by new American

I took several Frontsight classes with my Glock 17 (around 700 rounds for class) and I always use Wolf 115 gr. great stuff!Performance Value Quality
Affordable (I remember around 2005 I used to pay $5 for a box of 50 rounds), accurate and never a jam or a problem! I am a fan of this Wolf stuff. Americans, stock up, you may regret it if you don't...
One day we may say stories to our sons of when we were still able to afford cases of 9mm Wolf...

Cheaply ammo for target practice. No misfires or jams. (Posted on 1/28/12)Performance Value Quality - great for the range Review by paul

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he has no complients. He likes it. Good value! (Posted on 1/26/12)Performance Value Quality - Poor consistency Review by spdtracer
-
Althought this product is priced right and I have never has a mis-fire, it is a very inconsistent load and has a tremendous amount of muzzle flash. The steel casings also stick in both my Glock and Ruger mags. I have had many FTC's and have resorted to lubricating my mags before each range visit. If you don't mind cleaning your gun after each trip to the range, then this product will be decent for you. However, if you care about your guns and like to know that your round will be chambered every time, then stay away from this product. If you do buy, I would suggest that you try one or two boxes first. I made the mistake of buying 2500 rounds and now will have to suffer through shooting them. (Posted on 1/16/12)Performance Value Quality - Good value for range shooting Review by Phil
-
These are a good value for the range. I've shot 1000+ rounds so far. Sometimes they jam if I fill my 10-round magazine; less often if I just put in 9. Haven't tried cleaning them before use, I've heard that might help. Overall though, I think it's worth the relatively low price. (Posted on 1/14/12)Performance Value Quality - Great ammo, BEST BUY!!! Review by Millranch
-
Four of us set out to use the Wolf 9mm ammo. It worked flawlessly on the G19 and M9. Several misfires on the Taurus Millenium. After looking at the dimple on the primer it was obvious that the firing pin was not going far enough. Some of the primers were set a tad low. The Millenium was also miss-firing a new box of Winchesters. I cleaned all three pistols and found very little carbon. Great ammo. The Taurus is a bitch of a gun to field strip. BTW – we printed out some targets from Lucky Gunner. The Osama Bin Laden was our favorite to shoot at. (Posted on 12/29/11)Performance Value Quality - Beautiful! Review by Bryan
-
Loved this ammo! No FTF or FTEs in the entire batch. Shooting Ruger P89's and Glock 17's and 19's. Never had a problem with Wolf, and yes, the ammo is a little dirtier than some. Still, accurate enough to shoot string lines at 15-20 yds.Performance Value Quality
Will buy again and highly recommend. (Posted on 12/28/11) - Heidi's woderful!! Review by Michael

Excellent pricing - I love the way you break it down to cost per round. Super fast shipping. (Posted on 12/24/11)Performance Value Quality - Excellent Target Practice rounds Review by Glockin8er

If you ever blow through a couple hundred rounds while you're at the range with family or friends, these are the way to go. Inexpensive, reliable and dependable. Great choice for the money. (Posted on 12/16/11)Performance Value Quality - Excels for the price. Review by DRGN7374
-
Fired 300 rounds through my Beretta M9A1 with no apparent problems. Next 100 rounds had 2 FTF's. Cleaned gun and problems went away. Excellent target ammo for the price. Stock up while you can. (Posted on 11/29/11)Performance Value Quality - Great Bang for the Buck Review by CAG

On my 3rd purchase, 500 rds. ea., and after 1m rds fired, only 1 dud. Always cycles thru a Glock 19. (Posted on 11/19/11)Performance Value Quality - So So - ok for the price Review by Me
-
200 rds of this down range. 1st time using steel cartridge - my SR9C ate it just find - sparks galore when it fires. reloading the mags was more difficult and not as fast even with the Upula because the cartridges just don't slide as easy as brass.Performance Value Quality
Had several errant rounds that were outside my normal grouping
I did not find it as dirty as others have described. Not bad range ammo for the cost but S&B and some others for 1-2 cents more per round are more accurate (Posted on 11/19/11) - Good Value Review by Alphablue
-
Have yet to fire any of this purchased ammo. Very good value for the money, and good reviews here and elsewhere. However, when I load up my PX4 Storm mags with nothing but this ammo the mag had problems with keeping the ammo in tight and in place ... so I needed to alternate brass then steel case to get my mags to work!! It was weird, never had anything like that happen before. (Posted on 11/3/11)Performance Value Quality - What i paid for. Service was excellent Review by BuckSgt
-
It Russian ammo, steel casings and a little dirty but no FTF's, FTE's. Good range ammo but nothing to rave about besides the service and price which were outstanding! (Posted on 10/28/11)Performance Value Quality - Would buy again Review by NorCal89
-
Good ammo for thr range. Just for shooting, not performance. Ive shot about 200 rounds through a ruger SR9. Do not know how it would perform in rifles. (Posted on 10/27/11)Performance Value Quality - Execellent coice Review by martinb
-
I shoot this through my Walther PPS and my Glock 19. Absolutely no problems. 17.5 cents a round... very hard to beat that price point. (Posted on 10/11/11)Performance Value Quality - WOLF MILITARY Review by SKYK1NG
-
NO JAMS, CHEAP,DID NOT FIND IT DIRTY AS OTHERS HAVE SAID.SHOT IT THROUGH A SIG & XDM NO POBLEMS I think for the money its the best ammo around.Good value for range shooting. (Posted on 9/25/11)Performance Value Quality - Russian QC not same as in USA Review by Zooker
-
As I was emptying the boxes of this ammo could not help but notice that there was a film of "dust" on the bullets. Since I had just cleaned my guns there was a rag (had some cleaning solution residue on it) out so I put 200 rounds on the rag & picked it up moving the ammo around in it for about 20 seconds & the ammo was noticeable cleaner. At the range shot first 200 rounds without single FTF & it was comparable in accuracy to similar US made ammo. Opened another box to start reloading mags & found it hard (sticky) to load. Fired 19 rounds with 2 FTFs. The "dust" on the ammo is a problem. Went to range master and borrowed a rag repeated the 20 second cleaning & proceeded to fire 100 more round without another FTF.Performance Value Quality
So it is the tale of two stories you clean it it works just fine (5 stars), you don't clean it and it is a bear to work with (1 star). Thus it gets 3 stars... (Posted on 9/24/11) - Good value for range shooting. Review by glover847

Friend suggested this ammo, since we don't reload, and I purchased 500 rounds last month. Shot 250 rds. to date with no misfires or hang-ups in a Glock 19. Will buy again! (Posted on 9/5/11)Performance Value Quality - great Review by shooter

30 out of 30 hits first time i used wolf 9mm (Posted on 9/4/11)Performance Value Quality - Good Ammo that has gotten a lot better Review by Barbarosa Guns
-
Years ago this ammo did produce a bit of soot, more than its American competitors but it was still a third the price of even the least expensive American. The product has greatly improved especially since they got away from sealing their primer with lacquer and went to a polymer coating. It now shoots as cleanly as most American ammo and though its price has gone up thanks to the NIC, it still, when available, is the best buy on the market. Better than its Russian counterparts but I havent had any problems even with Tula.Performance Value Quality
Keep your gun clean and it will fire this ammo as well as the union scale produced product from this country. It aint just the price of copper that is raising prices here....its the damned trade unions. (Posted on 9/2/11) - Good and Dirty Review by Mr Fox
-
I have had no failures to fire, failures to eject, stove pipes, or squibs so far with 500 rounds spent. I am using a Taurus PT 909. Not sure if the gun's just less picky about ammo than the other reviewers but the ammo works first time every time in my gun. With that said the ammo itself is a bit dirty. This was not detrimental to performance and thus only cost one star for this review. (Posted on 8/29/11)Performance Value Quality - I like the military style look of the casings. Review by KiLLerElite
-
Shot this ammo through 3 different Glock pistols. No jamming, casing ejected well, pretty much spot on the target. I will purchase again in the future. (Posted on 8/28/11)Performance Value Quality - WOLF MILITARY CLASSIC Review by USMC SHOOTER
-
This is good ammo. It is not "dirty" as stated below, and does not "jam". I have fired it through Glock 17's, 19's, 26's, and a Beretta M9, fired great. And, it's easy to clean up with the range magnet. If your weapon jams with this stuff, it's not the ammo that's dirty, it your gun. Clean your weapon, the right way, and lube with CLP or MPro7. You won't have jams. (Posted on 8/28/11)Performance Value Quality - Great for plinking Review by Kently59
-
I think for the money its the best ammo around. If I was getting it for free, then I*d probably want Remington or something made in the usa. But for what I use it for, throwing lead down range, its what I prefer. (Posted on 8/22/11)Quality Performance Value - Can I Get Some Jam??? Review by BroManDudeGuy
-
Ok!!! I've been waiting to do this review after shooting all my 1000 rounds of wolf, I bought this product thinking... "Hey this seem like a good price" When what I really needed is someone to tell me to spend 20 extra dollars and buy a round with a brass casing!!! First of all this is some of the dirtiest ammo I have yet to run through my CZ 75B. I've never had a jam using any other ammo besides wolf. Although I never had a FTF, sometimes I would have it jam on me twice on the same magazine. So we tried it on the Glock 26 (4th Gen) and that jammed just as bad. There's no way this is only happening to me and how dare everyone else on LuckyGunner give wolf ammunition 5/5 stars!!!Quality Performance Value

Dirty- Smelly- Not at all Accurate- Cases don't eject with any regularity ( in a VERY RELIABLE gun). LOTS of FTF (Posted on 8/2/11)Quality Performance Value - best value i could find and shoots well! Review by mikey b
-
I couldn't find any ammo cheaper anywhere! I will continue to buy from lucky gunner. Very happy! (Posted on 7/29/11)Quality Performance Value - see below Review by none
-
The indoor range I use, Shooting Straight, does not allow the use of steel bullets. The gunsmith put a magnet to the bullet and sure enough, the round stuck to the magnet. Now I have to find a rangw that allows the use of steel bullets. In the future I will no longr use steel bullets or ammo manufactured in Russia (Posted on 7/25/11)Quality Performance Value - Great price Review by VR4

Great price for steel casings, very quick delivery, no problems, would order again (Posted on 6/21/11)Quality Performance Value - Lowest price I could find. Review by Mike B

This was the best price I found by far. Delivered quickly and customer service kept in touch to make sure all was perfect. (Posted on 6/15/11)Quality Performance Value - Shoots great in Glock 17 Review by Gryph
-
Shoots great in my Glock 17C. Great for range use and fairly accurate for the price. Had a few FTF but only 2-3 in 1000 so not too bad. Still a great value. (Posted on 6/13/11)Quality Performance Value
