Details
This 500 round case of Wolf ammunition delivers economical target shooting for your AR-15 or other .223 Remington/5.56 NATO rifle. These cartridges come in boxes of 20, with 25 boxes in each case; each round fires a 55 grain bimetal jacketed bullet and delivers good accuracy and reliable cycling thanks to its polymer coated steel case. While not reloadable, the cases contributes significantly to the low cost of this ammo!
These cartridges are loaded in Russia using non-corrosive Berdan primers. They have magnetic properties due to their steel components and may not be suitable for all indoor ranges.

Super fast shipping, thanks for that!! At first I was a little hesitant to purchase this brand especially with the steel casing. I shot several hundred rounds from my Ruger AR556. Rapid fired several 30 round magazines to test the quality and reliability and had zero issues . Every round fired perfectly, nice pattern, consistent accuracy. Will buy again! (Posted on 10/9/2017)

There is nothing wrong with shooting steel cased ammunition out of your AR15/Mini14/whatever else is chambered in .223. I've gone through THOUSANDS of rounds of this stuff through all my DDM4A1 and a frankenstein AR15 and i've only had a few FTF and that was mainly due to a magazine failure and me not properly lubricating my AR after a few weeks of shooting. its not 100% accurate but it gets the job done and I will continue to buy this stuff time and time again.

I purchased 500 rounds of this ammo for a large 3-gun match thinking that I made a deal. This ammo would not shoot straight at 100 yards. I tried some federal and shot out to 500 yards with no problems. This was by far the worst ammo I've ever used and completely just ruined my long range stages. I will never make the bad decision of buying this ammo ever again. (Posted on 9/11/2016)

I shoot quite a bit and have gone through a lot of Federal ammo as well as hand loads. I was loading almost exclusively but now that the price is back down on wolf, my loader sits more than it gets used. I can only save about $40 a thousand rounds over purchasing WPA. My labor is worth more than that to me. Good ammunition, though a little bit dirty, not bad and I have a cleaning kit. (Posted on 7/11/2016)

Plainly put, Wolf makes great ammo and has since they went with their polymer coating. A few years back when the company still sealed their primers with lacquer they also used a different powder mix that did produce a bit more carbon than some American makers but with the advent of the polycoating, Wolf also changed their powder mix and now produce rounds at least as good as any practice grade ammo made by American based companies and I have the saved targets to prove it.

You always get what you pay for, on my second case of 500 out of a 16" barrel with no problem.

Bought this as some cheap plinking ammo and for use at the occasional 200yd or less carbine match for my AR.
It is a slower burning powder than typical .223 as best I can figure. I get MASSIVE flames out of the barrel and short stroked cycles and failures to extract. The ammo seemed to cycle fine with my buddies 20" AR with the rifle length gas-port. I have a 16" barrel with a mid-length gas-port chambered in .223 Wylde.
I've run American Eagle .223, Remington 5.56 and .223, PMC 5.56 and Fiocchi .223 without any of the same issues.
Stick to better ammo if you are running a short AR. (Posted on 6/16/2015)

I shot this side by side with some american eagle 5.56 in my M&P sport. The 5.56 held tighter groups at 100 yards, but the wolf ran flawlessly and was almost as accurate. 5.56 recoil was noticeably greater, I'm not sure if this wolf .223 is underpowered or if that's normal between the two rounds. Wish I had bought more when it was on sale. Yes, the bullets have some steel in them and I don't mean the casings. (Posted on 3/2/2015)

All-in-all I was happy. You can't beat the savings. After 500 rounds fired through my Daniel Defense AR, I had ZERO misfires, failure to feed, or failure to eject. The rounds ran great. However, as someone else mentioned, the powder stinks when it burns. It's also a dirtier round as compared to a brass casing round. You'll see what I mean after blowing your nose :) If you keep your AR clean like I do, a few minutes more cleaning is sure worth the savings. (Posted on 12/28/2014)

I bought 1500 rounds of this stuff and after shooting about 500, I've got to say that it has been working great. Not a single problem.
However, there seems to be steel in the bullet. I'm not talking about the casing, its in the bullet itself. I went to a friend's range and they did a magnet test over my ammo and the tips were getting stuck to the magnet. That range did not allow me to fire the ammo and I had to purchase some of theirs.
My range has no problem with a bit of steel in the bullets and I have been so happy with my purchase.
In the future, it would be great to know ahead of time which ammo is pure lead and which has steel in it. (Posted on 12/26/2014)

I have fired 200 rounds so far. Performance is good but the extra length of this ammo misfeeds in my factory nylon clips. When used in metal clips they fire with no problems. I am solving this problem bying some steel clips which have more clearance for the longer ammo. The ammo is in spec but not compatable with Keltec clips.
This makes an argument against using plastic clips. It could happen to anybody. (Posted on 11/19/2014)

After reading pros and cons about steel case ammo I was not sure about trying it. I shot 30rds in my back yard and had no issues, that made me fill better about it!
Today I went to a local outdoor range and run 200rds through it, not one problem at all.
Accuracy was no problem and still no problem of any kind. I do clean my rifle after every range time and run it pretty wet with frog lube so cleanup is very easy. No carbon build up, with frog lube it just wiipes clean.
So this tells me if you mantain your rifle you should not have a problem with this ammo.
Its a very cheap way to practice, I will have no doubts about buying more of this ammo for practice, at this price per round including shipping its not bad!

I have ran more than 1500 rounds through the last 4 rifles I have built. It is noticeably lighter recoiling than 5.56 NATO rounds.

This is Russian made and not the cleanest burning ammo in the world. But it feeds well and seems to be OK in the accuracy, but obviously not something for competition shooting. I think I'll spend more next time and get something American made, hopefully a bit cleaner burning. But it was a good deal and is fine for shooting the heck out of targets at the local "range". I was a bit concerned about reliability, but had NO problems, every round went BANG. (Posted on 2/24/2014)

I have nearly run all of 500 rounds of this through my Sig M400. I did not have any malfunctions while shooting, and just recently picked up the Wolf Gold brass ammo based on my positive experience with this.
This ammo runs dirty and I habitually clean the rifle with Slip 2000 after every range day, which may have helped in preventing any malfunctions. Also, the ammo was consistently accurate out to 100 yards. I'm hoping to get the same performance out of the brass ammo.
All that said, I did not try rapid sustained fire at any point, so I can't speak to what happens when things get very hot. Admittedly I wouldn't use this ammo for that purpose, but instead brass cased. For sighting in and practicing weapon manipulation and marksmanship, though, this was fine. (Posted on 1/16/2014)

This is NOT match grade competition ammunition. It IS good stuff for combat use as is proven in every brushfire war since Vietnam. I had thousands of rounds of this stuff shot in my direction. I have no reason to avoid firing the 7.62x39mm in my AK and saw Ruski 5.56X45mm shot at me in captured M-16s in Nam. I would hear the craaack-bang of incoming rounds but no clicks and DAMN in Vietnamese
Since I do NOT reload and my range says that if a case hits the floor it is theirs, I'll fore steel cased ammo because of the cost difference. The rifle must be fired "wet" with lube and cleaned well and relubed before storage. Ten cases of brass cased ammo vs 12 cases of steel cased stuff. If I want to HUNT or compete, I use GOOD stuff; that COSTS much more.
Consider: what is my use for the ammo, what is my budget, and what is tha cost of an occasional click vs bang? ANY ammo can give you a misefire. It is what you DO to clear the bad round and chamber another that matters. (Posted on 1/16/2014)

Thought I'd try steel case ammo. How can you pass up the price? 180 rounds or so went just fine. My shots were grouping well and I had no feed or eject issues. Then came the jam. I was able to get the live round out of the chamber by pulling on the charging handle with both hands. The range officer suggested I stop shooting with this ammo or the jams would get worse as the barrel continued to heat up. Not sure I want to keep risking steel on steel. I think I'll stick to brass.

This ammo is excellent. I have been shooting this stuff for years, literally thousands of rounds! I haven't had a single FTE or FTF with my Ruger Mini-14, or Sig Sauer M400. At 50 yards, my groupings are a little wide at about 3 inches, but I am using a simple red dot where my 3 MOA is pretty much the entire target at 50 yards. At 100 yards, my red dot and poor depth perception can barely make out the target, but this stuff still manages to hit the target. So I would say the performance of this ammo is highly accurate. BEWARE, although this ammo is great ammo, this ammo will leave your rifle completely covered in filth. So a REAL GOOD cleaning is MANDATORY. (Posted on 9/30/2013)

i have never shot anything but WPA steel case ammo out of my M&P-15, and i have never had any kind of problems. I have shot somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 rounds out of it so that should say something. All 7 of my mags are loaded with Wolf steel case, and my ammo tin has about 200 more rounds. Will never buy anything but this bullet. (Posted on 7/24/2013)

I have run about 1500 rounds through both my bushy and my mini-14. 1000 in the bushy and 500 in my mini 14. I have never had a misfire, jam, or broken firing pin! In my Ruger M77 MK 4 I had mostly feed problem at the feed ramp. The only ammo I ever had major problems was Olympic. It would not eject and would lockup my bolt carrier. That stuff was junk, and then the dealer I bought it from said you get what you pay for. He had to tear his AR down to remove the spent brass! (Posted on 4/21/2013)

I have spit a couple of thousand steel cased Wolf and Tulammo .223 cartridges through my Ruger Mini-14 and my Bushmaster XM15 with no problems at all. Very cost effective rounds for use plinking and blasting in those guns. (However I've heard others say that the steel case will damage firing pins in the Mini 14. Not happened to mine yet.). But, I tried using steelcase ammo in my Savage Model 12 bolt action .223 and found out very quickly that it should not be used there. After every shot, the bolt jammed while closed and I had to use quite a bit of force to get it opened to clear the empty casing out. The only way around the bolt jamming was to immediately eject the empty before it could cool in the chamber for a second or so. I think the problem is the heating of the metal. Brass casings are softer than the steel and a little more pliable. Or it could be the steel case has too much friction when moving against the steel bolt after it starts to cool. Either way, I now know not to use these in my bolt action. Seem to work great in my Mini-14 and Bushmaster XM15. (Posted on 10/28/2012)

Yes, this ammo is fairly cheap but you do get what you pay for. I went through 30 rounds of these and my rifle jammed 8 times. Not bad if you are just goofing off but I wouldn't rely on these on a hunt or protection. (Posted on 5/26/2012)
