I had no idea Wolf ammo was magnetic. I took out a small magnet I keep in my gun cleaning kit and put it up to a Wolf 9mm handgun round and sure enough it stuck to it. Tried that with a brass cased Hornady round and it didn't stick.

@coveredinblood1111 That's because the case is steel and the bullet has a steel jacket under the copper jacket. Yup, magnets stick.

A friend of mine used to shoot wolf almost exclusively for years in his AR. He started getting bulged cases and failure;s to feed. I tried to put a GO gauge in his chamber but it would go in. We took the barrel off and looked in the chamber, he used a steel rod from the end of the barell to knock a case out and scratched the chamber. So he couldn't get any ammo much less a gauge in there. Now he has a new barrel and shoots brass cases ammo only. Just putin that out there for everyone.

@towlebucket Sorry, should have watched the rest of the video..........I said what he said in the video.

Ruger specifically calls out Wolf saying it ruins extractors. I have shot THOUSANDS (somewhere around 3,000) through my Mini 14 and have never had a single problem with it. Good quality firearms, that are cleaned and oiled properly, shouldn't have any problems firing this ammo.

It might work okay. Sure. But a lot of manufacturers state that shooting wolf ammo specifically voids your warranty. Take that for what it's worth.

If Springfield Armory, CMMG, Red Jacket, DMPS, etc think it's too crappy to put in their guns, why risk it? What if almost every new car said it's warranty was voided if you put, say, BP or Exxon gas in your car? Would you put it in then? Probably not. I know I wouldn't. That's my $0.02

Read my comment, it was not my gun that blew up (I don’t shoot wolf). Blame the guns and the people instead of your product, just like any sales man would. Because of the exploded guns I have seen (most likely from the over powdered wolf ammo they were shooting) and because of how dirty wolf ammo shoots, I won’t risk penny ammo in my expensive guns. PLEASE STOP trying to sell me on you product. For just a few cents more I can buy ammo I trust, the risk on your product is not worth it.

@flyjoshh wolf powder is if anything heavily underpowered..... so im gonna say that it was you... because the vast majority of equipment problems that i see happening with people are because they do not know how (or just dont) handle their gear correctly

Thanks for this video! It should have way more views!

Well, if a gun shoots fine, has no problems at all, then shoots wolf ammo and blows up in your hand... how could you not think it was the ammo? These were not used and abused guns, they looked new (but blown up). After talking with the range owner, he also believed it was something like a "double powder" in the wolf ammo.
