Details
This 5.56x45 ammunition from Wolf’s Gold label has steel in all the right places!
Notably for Wolf, this ammo features 100 percent brass cases. The cases will expand to seal the chamber during ignition, return to their original dimensions for smoother extraction from a semi-auto, and remain durable enough for handloading. You can even see where these rounds’ new production cases were heat-treated for greater suppleness.
Each round’s 62 grain bullet has a gilding metal jacket for assured smooth feeding from a magazine. The front of the bullet’s core is made of steel – hence the green paint on its tip. The M855 is designed to penetrate barriers as resilient as sheet metal.
This isn’t military surplus. It was manufactured for Wolf recently in Taiwan, so it has modern and non-corrosive primers. A good fit for any AR-15, and best fired from a 1:9 or 1:8 twist barrel.

Q: The Wolf cartridge box reads 5.56x45 but the casing is stamped 223 REM. Which is it?
Posted On: 3/10/2021 By: Tom
A: Thanks for reaching out Tom! It's definitely 5.56 – Wolf Gold cartridges are often headstamped incorrectly because they use the same brass to make both loads.
