Customer Reviews

  • B said:

    Very fast delivery. Great quality. Thank you!

  • Jay said:

    I have been using Wolf ammo for decades: It has been 100% reliable and has very good accuracy in my firearms. I am very happy with this product, especially on sale, and I am able to shoot more frequently and with more rounds fired per range time. This is very advantageous to keep ones skills honed. Hopefully, the importation of this ammo will continue at these favorable prices.

  • Whistle-Pig said:

    I hand load 55g blitzing for my AR and these performed exactly like my hand loads no adjustment in windage or elevation was needed. Although I didn't have time to run them through the chronograph with the performance at 100 yards I'd say the advertised velocity is spot on with a 24 inch barrel.

  • Tim said:

    Process great, product quality great, delivery time great. I will be ordering again

  • Bedwetter said:

    Love this ammo have bought this 2x and have no problem with it In an AR 15 loads good no misfires or FFEX FFFR FFLD cleans up well and have no problem with it

  • Dave said:

    Compared to brass prices you cant beat it! Shot about 500 rounds between two weekends had no issues every round shot flawlessly I will be returning for more

  • Spencer said:

    Ran 600 so far with no issues.

  • Dale said:

    exactly as described, was shipped and recieved within 3 days, fast service

  • William said:

    I have had a chance to use a few of the rounds, and am happy with the performance. No jams, and true flight.

  • Lark said:

    I have went thru about 200 rounds so far. Tight groups and no problems whatsoever. I have been trying out different ammo for different AR's. I typically buy 1,000--2,000 rounds at a time. I try to keep the cost as close to 40 cents per round as I can get. This was 57.5 cents per round (but I wanted to give it a try). Again, nothing bad to say about this ammo--but the price will probably keep me from ordering more. Also--I prefer 62 grain (75 and 77 grain would be my top choices, but (usually) the cost is prohibitive). Very good ammo.

  • Rob said:

    It was a good ammo. Fired and help itself well on the 100, 200, and 300 ranges.

  • John said:

    Cost of steel cased ammo - cons of steel cased ammo - but well made AFAICT

  • JayG said:

    I've been using Tula in my XDM .45 for plinking and have had no issues so I thought I'd give these a try, but the Tula .223 Rem 55gr malfunctions VERY often in my modern sporting rifle. Every 2-4 rounds caused a failure to eject/cycle, or double feed. I've had NO issues with brass in the same rifle. Not worth the pennies saved, I won't be buying Tula .223 again or even finishing the rounds I bought.

  • Richard said:

    No problems shooting from any of my ARs

  • Hank said:

    Fired 200 rounds and the ammo performed so far performed well.

  • Greg said:

    Exactly what I needed. Now I just have to learn how to fire the weapon.

  • Gavin said:

    No Miss fires at all.A Preformed like Expected.
