emf 2 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Reviews are mixed, a lot are bad. Just ran 100 rounds of it without any hiccups. I don't know, as long as it feeds and shoots I'm thinking about buying a lot of it. Edited March 20, 2013 by emf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have over 2000 rounds of it and have shot at least 1000 in the past 3 months. It's just fine. A little dirty but fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wolf got a bad rep in 2009 because they had a bad lot get by QC. I have shot both the original Wolf and the newer WPA, and both are minute of man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Wolf ammo is fine and functional, I have shot thousands of rounds of it. I however have found better ammo(more accurate),in Barnaul(bear) and Golden Tiger. That is for my rifle though! And that may be splitting hairs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semper299 284 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Never had a problem with Wolf. I have 1k of WPA SP's, and I love them. Good shooting ammo, but like someone else mentioned, a tad dirty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr.warning 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 i ran 100 rounds through my ar15 with no problems. i was expecting it to stovepipe but it didnt. got my ar dirty tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I found a local dealer who carries wolf ammo, but the funny thing is, they dont put it on the shelf. You have to go back to the gun section and request it...Its 7 bucks a box. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian M1 50 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I like Wolf ammo. It's dirty, as is ANY import ammo steel case you'll get, but it has better powder. Shoot some stinky Tula, then switch to Wolf and you'll see what I'm talking about. Other than that... I don't care. I'll shoot whatever's cheapest, as it all goes "bang" at the range.

LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 For fmj i like wolf, for hollowpoint i like tula bc the hole is bigger and on roughly 80% of ammo checked they have cuts on the inside that make them expand/fragment more. Tested this on a pumpkin last fall w a phone book shoved in it. Pretty nasty results. Just check the inside nose for the cuts w a needle. I wouldnt hesitate to use it on a deer inside of 100m.

dubya 198 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I like wolf. I have quite a bit of wolf and a few other brands. I have FMJ, HP, steel core, but I can't for the life of me find any soft points or American made 7.62x39 with hunting bullets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Check that tula bro and run your own tests! I was effin shocked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 This test right here (especially how the bi-metal projectiles chews up barrels) turned me off of the Russian stuff. http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In every case (.223, 5.56, 7.62) it's a harder BI-metal projectile going down a chrome lined barrel at over 2,000 f.p.s. Unless the laws of physics are somehow different on your little planet.

Well you can shoot bullets that are 3x more expensive if it makes you feel better over on your mini planet but the rest of us will continue to "ruin" our barrels with bi-metal bullets over here on Earth like we have been for years. Lololol. BTW anyone here burn up their Saiga barrel prematurely shooting bi-metal bullets exclusively? Edited March 27, 2013 by dubya 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ok, my ammo shops where i live are fairly limited but I have yet to run into Tula ammo. Where do you guys find it other then on line. AKA Gander Mountain, fleet farm or Cabellas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breid1970 327 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 My local walmart is barely stocked with anything these days and if your lucky you find a clerk who speaks english. Its shitty super shitty. What do you pay for the tula ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yep Walmart @ $5.39/box. Cabelas carriers Herters @ $7 something/box, and Fleet Farm has WPA @ $5.69/box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah here i can find tula fmj at walmart for 5.99. Unfortunately for Hp i have to get it online so i get it in bulk. Btw i did the same test with wolf wpa and mc hp and both acted just like fmj. :/ only the tula seemed to expand/fragment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah id like to get some sp too, after i stock up on more 308 ammo. I stocked up on the tula 124g hp after i did my little test and use the wolf 124g for targets. I keep fmj around in a smaller pile as around here its all you can find when stores are actually in stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I like wolf. I have quite a bit of wolf and a few other brands. I have FMJ, HP, steel core, but I can't for the life of me find any soft points or American made 7.62x39 with hunting bullets. Only 2 American companies that make SP are Remington(Core-loc line) and Winchester(Super-X line). I've shot both, and they seem to be on par with Silver Bear. Super-X nudges the Bear to 2nd at 200 yards, but all 3 are great at 100-150yds. Here's the only SP I've found locally: Winchester Super-X 123gr SP(silver box, and can run $1-$1.50 per bang.) Remington Core-Loc 123gr PSP(traditional green/yellow box, slightly cheaper than Winchester) Silver Bear 125gr SP(cheapest and puts food on the table. Dress the tip for slightly better accuracy) Wolf 154gr SP(never could get consistent shots without dressing the lead tip. Looked like they simply took a HP and gobbed some lead on the tip.) Others I have seen online include: Federal Power-Shok Cor-bon Winchester PDX1(in final production stages, and will be my go-to HD ammo when released) Sellier and Bellot Privi-Partisan Hornady SST and A-Max Most SP will pop up around hunting season. I'm going to try to catch some of the Federal and S&B this year for testing. My SGL21 likes the Winchester the best at 200yds, but all perform the same inside the "combat zone" of 100-150yds.

Im pretty sure they are right..wolff is a lot harder type metal and will wear your barrel out faster than if you didnt shoot that shit but i doubt anyone will shoot enough to make that happen.

im_n2_vws 28 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yea, These Russian barrel's were designed to run the bi-metal stuff. Like mentioned before, it would be different if you were shooting an AR. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
