Read a few reviews here and elsewhere over the years. My experience has be quite good using this newer polymer coated wolf. I have shot about 10,000+ rds. of this poly coated ammo, both FMJ and HP in both 55 and 62gr. Accuracy is not the best, (but OK) nor is the power level(mid-range) and it is not as clean(slightly more carbon fouling) as most other ammo brands out there. Wolf ammo in .223 is not "the best", it's not the worst either. It has it's place when you look at it's cost, great for plinking, blasting, practice or basic shooting drills. All of my weapons shoot wolf without any problems, (as well as other ammo brands) some even prefer it. Sadly I must say if your particular weapon doesn't use/shoot wolf, perhaps you should get one that does (high $$ doesn't always = better). Looking at a SHTF scenerio, realistically you may NOT get to choose what ammo is going to be available for your rifle, having a combat/defensive oriented weapon thats finicky with it's ammo selection is a SERIOUS LIABILITY, (DM rifles do not apply). Get a weapon that can shoot/cycle all the different brands of ammo, clean it/keep it clean and enjoy twice as much shooting with wolf brand ammo vs. MIL or commercial brands. Sorry some of you got hosed buying weapons that can't cycle everything you feed it.. I hope it doesn't bite you in the rear when it counts. Thanks for offering Wolf brand ammo CTD!
