    Default Ammo Question

    Has anyone used the Wolf Brass Ammo? I'm curious about it. I would never put the old stuff through a rifle but is the brass just as bad?

    The wolf gold? I’ve had no problems with it at all.

    I "know a guy" who agrees with the above statement and seems to work well for him.

    Well there was the older issues with coatings on ammunition, gumming up weapons. Although i think that is a thing of the past, my personal opinion is that steel cased ammunition tends to put more wear and tear on parts.

    That was lacquer case stuff. The new / grey is a polymer type coating. I've never had an issue with the x39 wolf, in AK's or AR's.

    The 223 wolf steel case i run for outdoor ranges where i can't police my brass. The brass wolf is gtg. I have 2-3 reloads on their brass, w/out issues.

    I'm interested as well. I feel like there is a lot of internet rumor about steel case not being good in ARs, but I've never shot it so I don't actually know.

    My opinion is that malfunctions are harder to clear and removed from the gun with steel cased ammunition.

    Again, this is my opinion, and I feel like these are the things I have observed when shooting large quantities of steel cased ammunition through any firearm

    I can attest to the pita factor of steel case when I had to unload a few magazines.
