anyone have any experience shooting wolf ammo? i find that it's the cheapest i've seen around ($5 for box of 50) and just wonder if ppl have any opinions regarding it.
A good theory! My local indoor range has banned them because of "air quality." I think they might be right.[b said:Quote[/b] (Jake Starr @ June 30 2005,11:29)]Personally I think this guy spreads this around because he resells used brass and doesn't want the hassle of sorting out the steel cases because they are Berdan primed….
Does the pay really matter, or the performance vs. price?[b said:Quote[/b] ]As a friend once said, "Do you really want to use ammo made by people who are being paid in vodka?"
Who is using Wolf in high priced firearms?[b said:Quote[/b] ] It makes no sense to spend big money on a firearm and try to save pennies on the ammo.
That anology doesn't work. First of all, no one here or anywhere else uses Wolf ammo on "Mercedes class" firearms. Maybe it's possible, but it's very rare. I've never seen or heard of someone shooting Wolf thru their $9,000 rifle or $2,500 pistol.[b said:Quote[/b] ] It would be like buying a Mercedes and then putting in the worst gas on the market to save a few bucks at the pump.
Really? I can get a case of Fiocchi locally for $120, how much are you paying for your Wolf? Ammoman has it for $115 a case which is very close to what I pay for Fiocchi. I have nothing against Wolf, but my range does not allow it.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,16:16)]Like I said above, I could buy a brand new firearm with the money saved on only a few cases of Wolf.
As I said in my first post, 9mm is cheap in any brand, my continued conversation was involving other calibers.[b said:Quote[/b] (tabor @ July 07 2005,19:14)]Really?

Sorry, my mistake for missing that.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,20:45)]As I said in my first post, 9mm is cheap in any brand, my continued conversation was involving other calibers.
You're missing the point... At the time my friend made his comment, the people who were producing Wolf were on the low end of the pay scale and were not really putting a solid effort into manufacturing a good quality product. When people are making the ammunition I'm using, I'd like to have some faith in their workmanship. Again, I've seen guns blown up by Wolf Ammo so I have no faith in it or the people who produce it.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,16:16)]Does the pay really matter, or the performance vs. price?[b said:Quote[/b] ]As a friend once said, "Do you really want to use ammo made by people who are being paid in vodka?"
I guess high priced firearm is a relative term. For some people anything over $500 is the high end. For others, it's anything over $1000. And for some others, anything short of a Korth is not high end. Just because this is a Walther forum does not mean the only thing I have is a Walther P99. Without going into what I have, I will say that using Wolf in a high quality, high priced firearm is not on my list of things to do in this lifetime.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,16:16)] Who is using Wolf in high priced firearms? Also, who is only saving pennies? I save half price (about $100) on .223 by using Wolf instead of the other mid range ammo that is available (M193, Winny, etc.)

Well, the analogy works, you just don't agree with it.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,16:16)]That anology doesn't work.
Arguing that the Walther P99 is a VW instead of a Mercedes is a digression not worth pursuing. That aside, you're basically proving my point... People who own quality firearms generally recognize that Wolf is low quality ammunition. They don't put it through quality firearms. They know they can get something that is better.[b said:Quote[/b] (New to Walther @ July 07 2005,16:16)]First of all, no one here or anywhere else uses Wolf ammo on "Mercedes class" firearms.
