Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
Anybody ever use this? Russian made 30-30 ammo, re-loadable brass. Might make good plinking ammo for those who don't reload. I've used Wolf in my Ar & Ak and not had a problem other than it seems dirtier than American made stuff. Probably find it cheaper at the gun show though. http://www.iammo.com/p-29971-wolf-30-30 ... point.aspx
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
What is it priced at? Some of the imported ammunition is worth buying just to get the brass.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
ammo.com wants $16.99 a box, 20 rounds in a box.

Seems expensive. I can get Remington and Winchester here for $15 a box at almost any store in town. Might be worth it if it's very accurate.

Toby,
Wolf Ammo is owned by a friend of my B-I-L, great guy, but I still wouldn't use his ammo in my guns. Nor his primers... just me... I used to love the bullets he made in SoCal, but this stuff... too dirty, and Remington is still made here in the US... well.... Arkansas anyway!!!!
Check your local WallyWorld, they carry Remington and Federal up in Rockwall.. I can't see why Friendswood would be different!

Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
they stock it at the local range, and the proprietor was going on about the reloadable cases and the quality. My friend shot up 3-4 boxes and they all went bang. The cases looked ok to me. Why not just try a box if you're curious?
I've only used Remington in 30-30, but for .357 and .22lr I've tried many others, and both of the best brands for me are foreign, Magtech and Fiocchi.

Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
I wonder if Wolf has ever thought about marketing unprimed brass in the US? It seems like rifle brass made by US companies is getting pretty pricey.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
Are we talking about the Wolf Russian and German produced ammo or a different company?Griff wrote:Toby,

I've shot a ton of the 223, 7.62x39, 9mm, and 45 Russian Wolf with no problems. Some of it is a bit on the dirty (not corrosive) side though. The German produced Wolf match 22 ammo is fantastic stuff for the price. It shoots close to ammo costing two to three times it's price in many of better 22's.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
I think we're talking about 2 different Wolf's. My post was about the imported Wolf ammo from Russia.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
Hi,
From what I remember is that Wolf Gold is made by Privi Partizan out of Serbia, the old Yugoslavia, and is also marketed as S&B (Seller&Bellot), Winchester, and Privi Partizan.
Its good ammo and can be reloaded.

Wolf Gold is re-packaged Prvi Partizan. Priv Partizan is based in Serbia.
S&B is based in the Czech Republic with no ties to Prvi Partizan.
S&B does make some metric calibers for Winchester (9mm Makarov & 7.62x54R)
Prvi Partizan does make great ammo, but I have had some overpressure rounds in the .30-30 (and some others have as well).
Frankly, I'd stick with Win/Rem/Fed in .30-30.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
For what it's worth I just got a bad box of Privi in .32 ACP. It's weak, wont cycle the two different .32s I tried it in, and leaves unburnt powder and soot all over the gun. That's the first bad box of Privi I've ever had but once burnt I'm likely to shy away from it, especially given the other reports I hear occasionally about issues with Privi ammo. Sellier & Belloit, on the other hand, has always been good to me and frankly the Czechs make better stuff than the Serbs do (in my experience) but I don't think I've ever seen S&B's .30-30 loading for sale anywhere. Fiocchi has always been great as well.
Some interesting tidbits: S&B is still Czech, but it's now owned by the same Brazilian company that is Magtech (which is only a brand name). And "most" (according to them) Fiocchi ammo sold in the U.S. is produced in the U.S. in their plant here.
Regarding the Wolf Gold ammo in question, that price is nothing special unless it's loaded with some sort of premium bullet.

Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
Pricewise, It's pretty hard to beat the Federal 30-30 ammo at Wally World at under $12 a box. Any quality issues with the Federal ammo?
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
Hope not, picked up a couple of Fed. 150gr. boxes myself to test out my new rifle.Was waiting on the rain to quit, now waiting on the ice to go away. Yep, I'm a wimp.
Re: Wolf brand 30-30 ammo?
No, Federal has been very good in all of my guns.
Best,
