Talk:Wolf Ammunition

Re: "Potential Problems with Wolf Ammunition"

While this entire section is speculative and anecdotal, I will be editing out some blatant misinformation at the article's end regarding public range policy.

• "An oft-cited reason for this is because they claim it damages the backstops. A more likely reason for not allowing steel-cased ammunition is that the ranges are unable to re-sell the berdan-primed steel cases for reloading, an important source of revenue for many ranges."

While steel casings are non-reloadable and would prevent a range from reloading spent cases, this is completely irrelevant to the issue of steel-jacketed ammunition. This refers to the jacketing on the bullet, not the casing that contains powder and primer. Certain import brands such as Wolf, Tula, and Bear use steel-jacketed or commonly copper-plated steel jacketed ammo (which is cosmetically similar to copper-jacketed ammo). These can in fact damage indoor range backstops, which are also commonly made from steel. This distinction is important because there are other brands of non-reloadable ammunition, such as CCI Blazer (aluminum cased, copper jacketed) or Hornady Steel Match (steel cased, copper jacketed hollow point) that are allowed at ranges provided range officers can check them in advance. General bans on steel cased ammunition are simply a blanket precaution. --Mewarmo990 (talk) 08:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

This entry needs an to be completely rewritten

I use Wolf Ammo quite a bit, so I have no problem with an entry on Wolf Ammo. However, this entry reads like something that was taken directly from Wolf's site. The Current Events section seems like it is meant to be an endorsement of Wolf's Ammo, as the items in that section seem to be along the lines of "look at how many people are using Wolf Ammo; you should too". The rest of the entry seems to be written in a similar fashion, with problems concerning Wolf Ammo (problems that are not unique to Wolf's steel cased ammo)being rebutted like they would be in a Wolf press release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.154.101 (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

There is the additional issue that the Wolf 22 rimfire ammo is made by an entirely different company than the centerfire. The Wolf 22 is excellent but tends to extract less easily than other ammo. The centerfire mostly seems to have a bad reputation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 (talk) 18:29, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly with the "rewritten" entry! And Wiki is seriouly misinformed on this statement: "conforms to all SAAMI standards" I personally spoke with a SAAMI rep on the phone and he said they had no jurisdiction as that ammo is CIP regulated. And if Wolf exported even one drop of their "Gold" line, in 7.62X39, I wouldn't mistrust the Russians so much. The Berdan primers are,and have been for some time, causing many problems, especially for SKS owners.
