I believe that depends on whether your deal is steel cased Wolf or brass cased m193 Wolf/Privi.
I have shot the steel cased wolf on a limited basis through my LMT with no problems but it is a bit under powered compared to LC XM193 or PPU M193.
Of those that have had problems, many of those that had problems over there on ARF.com used certain brands of AR, chambers for .223, heavy buffers and cleaning issues. There were also issues with Wolf Steel Cased rounds that had lacquer coating, which is what I have run into with my SW 15R shooting lacquer coated 5.45. The lacquer builds up, I have ejection problems and requires a cleaning to remedy.
The new Wolf Steel Case does not have lacquer coated cases and it has far fewer issues.
The Brass Cased PPU M193 and M855 has performed as well as the LC XM193 for me. MK262 Seconds and my hand loads rule the roost though.
$700 for PPU Brass Cased 5.56 M193 sounds like an OK deal since it is running around $369 per K, but a bit much for steel case.
Personally I wouldn't hesitate if it were a really good deal for the Brass Cased.
