  • TM said:

    Just use it on the range, fun to shoot, we waste it on rapid fire and its great, no problems. It can be somewhat dirty but hey, thats what gun scrub spray is for and spray on oils,,,,great ammo for the price..

  • larrytbull said:

    Worked great in my mak90> only wish prices were like back 6 months ago

  • markitalynn said:

    Never jammed, was not as dirty as I have been told, and was just alot of fun to shoot. (Also pretty darn accurate for being in an old SKS!)

  • Jeff said:

    I had no problems shooting 75 rounds in my AMD-65.

    good

  • Big John said:

    This is not the first 1000 rounds I've bought of this ammo. Never had a misfire, fairly clean burn and accurate. I'll be back for more when this is gone.

  • Scott2333 said:

    A++++++++

  • Jimbillyjoebob said:

    I feed this ammo to my AK on a regular basis and it never has choked on it yet. It is not the cleanest burning, but for the money you can't beat it.

    I have the 125 SP loading for my Madi. It kicks a bit harder than a lot of other stuff and it does massive damage on medium sized game animals.

  • ratso said:

    I have used this ammo for about ten years now hunting whitetails. I have dropped 220lb bucks with one shot kills. This year dropped a nice 8 point at 225 yrds. with 123grn sp wolf steel case out of a 16" POF Ar.p. so much for those who think 762x39 isnt a very good deer round and so much for people who think wolf steel case ammo is not very good!

  • Bubba said:

    You can not go wrong getting product from this company. Had got my order in 2 days. Would recommend to everyone.

  • Noelle said:

    I've done 150 rounds and have never experienced any misfires! Thanks for this. Will buy again.

  • Freeman said:

    Only have shot 200 rounds so far, but no feed issues or failure to fire. Solid stuff.

  • Country said:

    Don't get for AR in 7.62 HP`s do not cycle unless you give the feed channel where the lower meets the barrels chamber a little attention a file and sand paper did the trick after about 10 freaking hrs =( I gave 4 stars on quality cause I hate steel but oh well just shtf backup ammo I planned on storing Ty Ammo Dot net for speedy service o7

  • Andrew said:

    The Wolf 125 gr SP is very effective on deer and hogs. Accurate and performs well in harvests within 100 yards, according to my experience. No feeding or failure to fire issues encountered when used in BCA 7.62x39 AR platforms. Same trouble free operation and effectiveness in PSA, VSKA types as well. Great choice for hunting.

  • James Bond Bennett said:

    Great value for money ! Same quality you find in a more expensive round.

  • XXX said:

    I use this ammo for my AK. Overall I am very happy with it. Good ammo at a good price.

  • James said:

    Good ammo.. I've shot thousands of rounds of wolf ammo through my Ak no issues

  • BigD said:

    This ammo is waaaaayyyy overpriced

  • derek said:

    loaded the magazine and it wouldnt cycle a single round. not sure if it the metal or what but bought some local and had no issue

  • Ed said:

    Good ammo , shoots well with no problems, on the target where i aim at 50 yards, shooting out of my galil pistol. Shipping was fast and a good price.

  • :-) said:

    this ammo (for me) allows tighter groups from 50 to 100 yards at the range.
