HERE IS THE PROBLEM. Copper, and by extension brass? It’s not cheap. It’s not as pricey as rhodium or palladium, but it still has an unwanted effect on a cartridge’s manufacturing cost.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION: steel. It’s made of iron, which is the second most ubiquitous metal in the earth’s crust (after aluminum), and it makes any ammunition it’s included in a lot more economical.
All of this is to say that Wolf Polyformance 223 Rem ammo’s chief selling point is its low price tag. Its steel components do come with tradeoffs, though. Its 55 grain FMJ bullets’ primarily steel jackets attract a magnet, and therefore aren’t allowed at many commercial ranges. And because steel cases are too rigid to be handloaded, you won’t be able to breathe any life back into them.
Steel is more vulnerable to tarnishing, and doesn’t glide as smoothly against steel rifle parts as brass would have. Wolf knows this, which is why they coat this ammo’s steel cases in protective and friction-reducing polymer. Wolf also charges up these target loads with noncorrosive Berdan primers, so no worries there!
