Video Transcript:
Wolf ammo is manufactured in Russia and is some of the least expensive centerfire ammo available in the country. They have a few different brands, and the ammo we're looking at today is the 115-grain, 9mm WOLF PolyFornance.
Like most WOLF ammo, this is steelcased with a light polymer coating on the outside of the case to help with reliable feeding. The cases are not reloadable, but they contain non-corrosive primers and should not damage or fire on in any way.
Contrary to popular belief, the bullets used in WOLF ammo do not contain a steel core. They use a typical lead core and a bimetal jacket of steel and copper. Some shooting ranges prohibit the use of ammo that will attract a magnet, as these bullets do. However, they are generally just as safe as other types of ammo, and I've never personally experienced any problems with damage to targets or ricochets.
We tried out this ammo in a few different test guns with mixed results. It fed just fine in most of our guns, but we had some trouble with our Kahr CW9. Kahr recommends only using brass-cased ammo in their guns, so it's not entirely surprising that we would have had a couple of failures to feed. Other guns seemed to handle it just fine, and none of the failures involved any ignition problems.
We tested accuracy from a benchrest at 15 yards using a Beretta 92. The results were not too bad, and it seemed about equal to most other low cost range ammo in this caliber. We shot a few extra rounds with our Beretta Storm carbine, and got a bit better accuracy even out to 25 yards.
Say what you want about cheap Russian ammo. If the gun and the shooter are up to the task, it should perform pretty well in most cases.
If you need some inexpensive range ammo, and you aren't looking for reloadable brass, then WOLF PolyFormance will get the job done.

- Works for me! Review by Striker

I bought my wife a Smith & Wesson SD9 for self defense, and I've been teaching her how to shoot. I want her to put a lot of rounds down range so she can be comfortable and confident with the weapon. She's fired over 500 rounds and have yet to have a misfire, jam, FTL or FTE. So far this ammo has been flawless, and I have no complaints. It isn't really any dirtier than other ammo that I've fired, and accuracy isn't bad at all. This stuff is great for practice and the price is very good ... and with Luckygunner's fantastic service, that's just icing on the cake! I understand that some ranges do not allow steel cased ammo, but the club I belong to doesn't mind. So you might want to check with your range before purchasing.

Not the cleanest ammo on the market but it is RELIABLE, acceptably accurate, and very inexpensive. Plink away without remorse. When gun mag testers use Wolf ammo for heavy volume firing tests it speaks to their confidence in the quality and reliability of the product. That's good enough for me. I will purchase more in the future and Lucky Gunner will be my supplier of choice. (Posted on 10/12/12)Performance Value Quality - Good target ammo for the price Review by Jack

The Wolf ammo fires dirty, leaving heavy soot on my guns, but it cleans off easily. I have used Wolf 9mm ammo for two years in 3 different guns, I had jamming problems with one of the semi-automatics, and that gun fires the more expensive ammo without a problem, but at half the price, I'll stick with Wolf and deal with the jams in the one gun. (Posted on 10/2/12)Performance Value Quality - My range won't allow me to use it. Review by Santa Chuck

I ordered 1000 rounds and have fired maybe 150. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the range master where I took my daughter shooting got all bent out of shape about the steel casings and said they don't allow them in their range as he quickly snatched them up with a shop magnet. I suppose that whoever they sell their brass to won't accept mixed casings. I had to buy a couple of boxes of their overpriced ammo, (almost $20 per box) or lose the rest of my range time with my daughter. So I guess that I will have to set on the rest of them until I can go out to a buddy's private range in the country.

Wolf. Its not a name that is synonymous with the words "quality" or "clean". However, those days of lacquered steel casings are gone, and WOLF has definitely done right by the shooters with their Polyformance ammo.Performance Value Quality
No joke, I like this ammo a lot. I've fired over three hundred rounds in my Springfield XD9, and haven't had a single issue, and I haven't cleaned it yet! (More for my own testing of the pistol and not the ammo.) The rounds are just as accurate as any brass cased ammo I've shot, and although I haven't benchrested it on paper targets, if I can continue to hit the soda cans I've been shooting at twenty yards, I don't think I need to. This is prime-time affordable plinking ammo... if you want to drop 25-30$ a box on some premium target ammo, go right ahead, but I'm more than happy with my WOLF ammo, especially at these prices. Way cheaper than even the White Box Winchester (and I think cleaner too) that Walmart has on the store shelves, and it feeds reliably in all of my pistols.
If you're having feeding issues, its either your gun, or the magazine and not the ammo. I specifically purchased guns with robust extractors that are 100% reliable so I can shoot this ammo, and pretty much every 9mm. If your gun doesn't feed WOLF, then I'd suggest you purchase the expensive brass cased stuff, otherwise, pick up a box or two and see how your gun handles it.
As far as cleaning up, I wouldn't know, as I haven't cleaned any of the weapons that have shot it.
One more point... its steel casing makes it a LOT lighter, I'd dare to say it feels about 30% lighter. I know for a fact that I can carry plenty of extra ammo because of the reduced weight. (Posted on 9/28/12) - eh, not that good Review by Lucky

cheap, but you might as well throw your gun at the target. After running about 50 rds through my Taurus 24/7 I got consistent jams. Cleaned the gun and it took another 50 rds or so to jam up, failing to feed is the exact issue. I mixed it up with Remington ammo and got decent results. Using the rest of what I bought, but will spend the extra nickel per round so I can shoot. Bullets travel faster and farther than I can throw.

I shop around before I buy and this a really good deal quantity and quality (Posted on 9/24/12)Performance Value Quality - Not happy Review by Matty

I read the reviews and decided to give these a try for my Ruger P95. First shot jammed. Pulled the magazine and reloaded it, jammed again. Used a different mag, same result. Even trying to load the mag, they didn't seat properly. Won't be purchasing these again. (Posted on 8/31/12)Performance Value Quality - This stuff is Great! Review by Bob's Road

These rounds are cheap, but cannot be fired at Public ranges in California. Be advised. Good price though. (Posted on 7/4/12)Quality Performance Value - I think I just found my new range ammo! Review by A.J.

I order this ammo because of all the good reviews and I was sick of buying a box here and there. I have been through 250 on my G26 and a 100 on a G19 I haven't had any problems at all. I clean my weapon after every vist to the range so I can't say anything on the fact if it's dirtier then other ammo. Lucky Gunner shipping was super fast I think I have found my new ammo website!Quality Performance Value
