I've never had problems with Wolf in any of my handguns or rifles.

That said, would you go out and buy a new ZR-1 Corvette and then find the cheapest, nastiest gasoline you could find to put in it?  Why do people spend a fortune on guns and then go cheap on ammo??


Cuz we spent all our money on the gun  ;D

   Hey twyacht, the Sig is a great gun,(got one myself), had very similar problems with the Wolf. I also could see the marks on the rear of the casing. I think it is a combination of low power/new gun - polymer coating. Good luck with better ammo. One good thing - more time to aim!

Wolf ammo has had its praises and nightmares, I wouldn't use it based on the many nightmare reports.  A while ago there were reports the casing would leave a residue and gum up in a hot rifle.  Problems like that...I don't need, I don't need a guessing game on whether the rifle will run or not.

If it never happened then why were so many complaining about it.  Also remember why the U.S. Military still uses a brass casing rather than a steel casing as used in the wolf ammo.  also keep in mind that the wolf ammo is coated to prevent corrosion, could that coating become a problem??

Why do they use Brass, I assumed it had to do with manufacturing but never really gave it much thought.

Here is the info from WIKIPEDIA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_(ammunition)

One of the other advantages is that brass is pliable enough to not wear on the steel of the barrel.  IE you can tap on steel with a brass hammer and the hammer will show the wear and become malformed.  But if you use a steel hammer on steel they both show wear and will become malformed.
