Wolf ammo
 

Anyone have first hand experience with Wolf ammo? Good, bad or indifferent. Sportsmanguide.com is offering 1000 rounds of 230 grain 45 ACP for $124.95, which is $80 cheaper than I have seen anywhere else.

I have heard people refer to it as garbage and others as an acceptable practice round. I figured I have a much better shot of getting an informed opinion here than any where else on the net.

Thanks,

Pete

Accuracy of the 230 grain hardball was acceptable for short-range drills, but boy you had better be ready to clean your gun. It will get filthy from that stuff. Other than that, no compaints. Seemed to feed just fine in my Wilson Protector.

Don't buy that stuff until you hear from Air.177.

As far as advice or him having a better deal on ammo?

Advice. He has strong views on the subject.

Why do I get the feeling he doesn't think highly of Wolf? :munchin

Spend the money on a Dillon 550B and load your own. You'll be a lot happier in the long run. Just my .02 - Peregrino

We've shot quite a bit of it. In fact he shot it (9mm) when he went through Gunsite. It is kind of dirty, but it's reliable and "Policing Brass" is easy, just use a MAGNET !!!! Thing is, he deals with the general public everyday and hears lots of "Feedback" !!!!

I wouldn't fire it through anything I owned.

Compare your $80 per case savings to the cost of a new gun or a trip to the hospital.

Do you shoot that much ammo?

I am trying to. Up until a year ago I mostly shot for fun (1-2 times a month) but nowdays I am shooting quite a bit of IDPA and my round count is getting up in the 2000-3000 rounds a month range depending on how busy I get with work. Right now I am spending $180 per one thousand which gets expensive after a while.

I probably should reload but I currently have space issues that would prohibit a progressive reloader and I don't have enough time to pump out enough rounds on a single stage.

I guess my best bet is to buy Winchester White Box and supplement that by buying a Marvel .22 conversion unit.

Don't hold your breath !! His comment was "It's not worth the Grief" !!
Count him OUT on expecting any responses !!!

All that Russian ammo is crap. Berdan-primed, lacquer-coated steel cases, not to mention that the quality control isn't that great.

Get a press, reload your own. Or, buy some ammo by the case from www.ammoman.com.

Sure, now this thread is started. I was at the range today, went through a box of Magtech .45 ACP 230 and a box of Wolf. I'll stay away from the Wolf ammo. Any thoughts on the Magtech?

Yeah, go to WalMart and buy the Winchester Ammo.

Or do a little paperwork and purchase Black Hills ammo, they'll send it right to your doorstep by the case.

I've never heard of "Magtech" ammo and would never run it through my guns.

If you purchase cheap ammo expect cheap results.

Ammoman is here in NJ and last I heard he doesn't allow pickups and can't mail ammo in state. Natchez has pretty good prices.
