Yea Scarecrow--I understand where you're at. I have wolf for my AK but the AK can handle it.
I've heard to many wierd things about wolf ammo and I don't know what's true and what's not true.
I just avoid the stuff--I see no reason to take the chance of screwing up a gun just to save a couple bucks on ammo. I usually get UMC,American Eagle or WWB and shoot em and then just keep reloading them
Wolf is good ammunition if you're simply chucking lead down range. I work at an indoor range where we use Wolf .45 ACP in our rental Glock 21 pistols. We retire the guns after around 10k rounds. At around the 9k round point, the slide slide begins to show excessive wear around the hole where the striker comes through. Between the 9.5k and 10k round point, the slide either cracks or gets too rounded out to be considered "safe". I've replaced chipped extractors on a few guns at around the 5K round point. The extractor is a fairly inexpensive part and only takes me a few minutes to replace.
We have a couple of other models chambered in .45 ACP that show the same wear. A Sig GSR was recently retired after 1,100 rounds due to a cracked slide.
If you're going to be shooting an extremely high amount of rounds in a very short time, then I would recommend staying away from Wolf ammunition. We use it for our rental guns due to the low cost. The money we save on ammo justifies replacing the rental guns after shooting 9k to 10k rounds. Most of the customers are tourists paying for various package deals that we offer. For personal use, Wolf ammunition might not be the best solution.
