Is Wolf ammo any good?

[mcub]

My take on wolf and several other cheap brands is there large amount of residue tends to jam guns that are either over oiled or over lubed.

Oil and lube attract dirt and cheap ammo supplies a lot of it. This responsible for a lot of the jams this class of ammo gets blamed for.

People disagree with me, but I believe an over oiled/lubed gun is just as bad as an uncleaned gun.

I'd be one of those people. I'm a heavy luber, and have been ever since I had a failure due to lack of lubrication. I've never had a failure since, despite extended sessions with "dirty" ammo...And it was those same extended sessions that caused by earlier failure due to a light lube job. I know of another individual who lubes heavily, and due to the job he held at the time was responsible for the maintenance of training weapons and never had an "over-lubed" failure through several million rounds fired by his students.

It's an interesting theory, but I've yet to see anybody prove that it's real, much less a significant issue.

I've probably run about 500ish rounds through my Glock without any issues at all. I finally switched over to WWB because it was about the same price after you factored in driving to Ft. Worth to get the Wolf. Lately I have been shooting Blazer Brass from Wally World because nothing else is close in price.

I'd think if you had one fail to being under lubed, you probably are not a heavy lubber, just doing it well. When I was taking the CHL test, a gentleman with the group had so much oil(?) in his pistol they had to stop and wipe it down so he could finish the range portion. Until my CHL test I did not know it was actually possible. I also bet you are using the correct type of lube as well.

Don’t worry some day you'll be at a range and see some one oiling his pistol because it keeps jamming, then you realize what I mean!

Just wait until you see them "baptize" it in WD-40 I seen a man do that about a month or so back.
