I was reading reviews from a few years back that WG 75GR was just repackaged PPU, was this ever confirmed?
Is anyone still using it and if so what kind of groups are you shooting with it and what distances?

"Repackaged" is not the right term.  Wolf (a distribution company, NOT an ammo maker) contracts with a variety of ammunition manufacturers to have rounds made (and packaged) to their specs with their packaging.

With that said, it appears that Prvi Partizan (PPU) makes the 75gr loading for Wolf.  Wolf Gold 55 gr is made in Taiwan (by the same firm that makes ammunition for the Taiwanese government).

I've shot thousands of WG 55gr and love it, it's all I actually shoot anymore, that's what has me wondering about the 75gr.

The Wolf Gold 6.5 Grendel 120 grain MPT is loaded in PPU brass and appears to be the same bullet and load now being sold as PPU 6.5 Grendel 120 grain HP BT.  If the Wolf Gold 75 grain BTHP is loaded in PPU brass it is more than likely PPU manufactured ammo.

The best test I've seen on PPU 223 Remington 75 grain BTHP/OTM was done by Molon.  Here is a link if you haven't seen the test.

Thanks for that read, it looks solid for the price, the only other question is does it mean that it's a buy at 58cpr since the cbc 77gr otm is no where to be found.

Like any ammo... try some before you commit to buy them in bulk.

The PPU 75gr performance was mediocre in my SR15 Mod1, at 2MOA-2.5MOA 10rd group.
The PPU 69gr performed good in my SR15 Mod1, about 1.5 MOA 10rd group.
AE 50gr 'VT' and CBC 77gr OTM are both 1-1.25MOA ammo,
I got a few 0.77MOA 5rd group at 200yards using CBC OTM.

Personally I would wait for CBC/Magtech to come back
Also, check EE, I recently bought 2k of CBC for $1k shipped
