A lot of hobbyists like to complain about how expensive their hobbies can be: an aquarium enthusiast may have to dip into their retirement fund to afford fin rot medicine, or an O scale fiend might sell a kidney to get a new Lionel. But a shooter? Even if they own only one firearm, they could still conceivably blow their entire life’s savings in the bat of an eye if they shot as much as they wanted to. It’s a conundrum.
This 223 Rem ammo by Wolf helps to take some of the sting out of what can be so costly a pastime. With its steel casing, this cartridge costs only a fraction of what a brass cased one would. The casing is coated in PolyFormance, a proprietary treatment that eases feeding and extraction in a semi-automatic without leaving behind an abundance of residues. It’s also non-reloadable, so no more having to worry about picking up your casings -- that’s quite a feature!
This round features its caliber’s standard weight 55 grain projectile. The bullet’s copper jacket means it shoots nice and clean, but please note that it’s magnetic even without its casing.

I've ran through about 1500 rounds so far of this stuff and haven't had one issue. Only thing I can recommend is to watch out if you're shooting in the rain. Even if it's sprinkling a tittle bit of moisture and the casings start to rust. (Posted on 4/17/2022)

I have shot a lot of wolf steel cased ammo, and I have no feeding problems. If you want to get rid of your ammo send them to me, I will give you 10 cent a round. At least you make back some of your money. (Posted on 12/21/2021)

I used this ammo in a 10.5" A5 (Anderson Lower, Brownells upper-- nothing special) and the ammo performed flawlessly. We were hitting steel at 300 yards on demand all afternoon. I'm sure that a more costly round would give you slightly tighter groups but if were all being honest, YOU CANT HOLD 1 MOA in a realistic shooting scenario anyway. What you need is training and this ammo allows me to train more often. Get off the forums and get training. The ammo works just fine. (Posted on 8/19/2021)

i hear a lot of people complaining about the ammo not firing wolf ammo primers are a little bit deeper than US made ammo its a military made ammo if you have a problem with this ammo just get a new firing pin for a colt 5.56 and switch them out and i bet that you wont have a problem. i had the problem with the pin just denting the primer and i did the switch and it worked fine. or your headspace might be off just a bit. the ammo is fine its just the weapon that your firing might need the locking lug cleaned or a lot of other things.

Poor Ammunition - Wolf Steel Case .223 FMJ 55 Grain
Review by Robert

Performance
I shot a Model II S&W AR-15 (5.56). I bought 1000 rounds of Wolf .223 55 grain FMJ Steel Case ammunition. After shooting 30 rounds and experiencing two jams, the rifle became so hot that either the steel case expanded or the lacquer of the shell melted causing the spent round to become frozen in the barrel. It would not eject and the range officer could not remove it manually with a steel plunger, knife or needle nose pliers. When I returned home, I had to soak the barrel with Break Free gun cleaner for an hour and use the cleaning rod with a rubber mallet to free the shell. Since I shoot often, I bought the Wolf ammunition since it was at a good price, and according to the reviews, would perform like the brass shells – they don’t and now I am stuck with hundreds of rounds of useless ammunition that is not compatible with my S&W AR-15 Model II. The bottom line is this is Wolf Steel Case .223 is inferior ammunition - you get what you pay for – pay the extra money for brass 5.56 or .223 ammunition to avoid the problems I described.

If you’re looking to buy bulk because you shoot bulk... this is great ammo. If your rifle has issues with this ammo... it’s your rifle’s fault. I can’t say any ammo is a bargain right now because it isn’t. Current prices are stupid and this ammo price is just a little less stupid. (Posted on 2/6/2021)

I purchased 1000 rounds in 2016 and still have some left over and have never ever had an issue with this ammo. Of course as any other ammo, if you don't clean your weapon regularly and if you rapid fire for too long you might get a stuck cartridge, but that's not the bullet's fault, is the shooter.

Product Question and Answer

Q: Will they fire in my S&W M&P-15 sport?
Posted On: 1/30/2022 By: Jay Gordon
A: Yes sir, this ammo should function correctly in your M&P. Some people note dirtier and less reliable performance when they run steel-cased ammo like this through an AR-15, although I personally believe this ammo's lower price tag more than compensates for any such performance issues.
Q: Can these be shot at indoor ranges?
Posted On: 12/14/2021 By: Grant Bruley
A: Thanks for reaching out Grant! This cartridge has a bimetal jacket bullet, which contains steel. Many indoor ranges ban such bullets because they have a higher chance of creating sparks, ricocheting and damaging range equipment. However, many indoor ranges do not ban bimetal jacket bullets (aka magnetic bullets). In short, the answer to your question is yes – but not at ALL indoor ranges. That's why I recommend calling the indoor range you prefer visiting and asking for their policy on magnetic ammo before you order Wolf's ammo!
Q: was this produced by barnaul
Posted On: 5/2/2021 By: andrew
A: No sir, Wolf ammunition is currently made by TulAmmo (aka Tula). In all honesty, though, the difference in quality between Barnaul and TulAmmo is pretty much negligible.
Q: In stock?
Will you ship to California FFL?
Posted On: 3/25/2021 By: Brian
A: Sorry Brian, but state law prevents us from shipping to Califorina, even if it's to an FFL dealer.
Q: The wolf 223 rem 1,000 rounds do you have them in stock
Posted On: 4/10/2020 By: Larry Middleton
A: Yes sir, at this very moment we have dozens of 1,000 round cases of Wolf .223 55gr FMJ in stock and ready to find new homes.
Q: Will this tear up a barrel like bi-metal only rounds?
Posted On: 2/26/2020 By: James
A: The outermost layer of copper on this round's bullet is intended to prevent the wear and tear characteristic of a steel jacket. We expect your rifle ought not to incur any damage with Wolf's ammunition, although each firearm is unique to itself and we'd hesitate to make any promises to you that we're not absolutely certain of!
Q: 1. Is this considered a clean shooting ammo
2. Do u have better pricing for large orders. If so what & how many cases required per order
Posted On: 12/23/2019 By: Ray S
A: Hi Ray. Thanks for looking to us for your .223 ammo. Wolf is a bit cleaner than some of the very dirty ammo such as Winchester white box. It is not as clean as Fiocchi or Federal, but overall, it's about like most of the range ammo. We do have a discount for orders starting at $5000 so give us a shout and we can get you a good quote. Have a great day. Ross
Q: What is the FPS of this round?
Posted On: 11/10/2019 By: Kevin VonD
A: Hi Kevin. Thanks for looking to BulkAmmo.com for your ammo needs. According to the data provided to us by Wolf, that particular round has a muzzle velocity of 3241 ft/sec. Let me know if I can help in any way. Ronnie
