  Any one know where the cheapest 9mm FMJ is? I need 3K rounds for a school in Kansas

(there are 3 of us) also is wolf 9mm as bad as people say? I'm using an M9/92F and Ive

never used wolf pistol ammo before.

For plinking, Wolf is mostly what I buy.  It's fine.  I've shot thousands of rounds of the stuff, and I only ever had one round that was defective.

Who manufactures the Wolf 9mm?  It's made in Russia, but by which manufacturer?  Barnaul?




I've used a lot of Barnaul and Prvi Partizan with no ill effects.  Generally, those that bash the less expensive steel cased ammunition are simply repeating things they've heard on the internet and can offer no personal experience to back it up.

I buy Wolf and Blazer 9mm by the case.  Blazer runs about $160/1k and the Wolf is whatever you can find online.

My old 92F loved wolf and hated Blazer, accuracy wise.  My XD's like them both, but don't like Winchester White Box.

  Did you have any extraction ejection problems with Wolf? Also is Blaser the aluminum

cased stuff?

Only worry I'd have with steel cased ammo is if I were shooting it in a aluminum framed gun. Particularly one with an aluminum feed ramp. If you got a jam with the case mouth digging into the ramp, itmight damage it more than a softer brass case would. Chances of that happening are very rare, but you never know. If it's an all steel gun, or one with a steel ramp, I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

I've been pretty happy with S&B. Brass, inexpensive, and not lightly loaded like wolf.

I've had good luck with Blazer.  If you're worried, WWB is a little bit more but about as good quality as you can find.

"I'da know...when I was a SELE and assigned as a screen door gunner on the space shuttle, I saw that stuff just bounce right off of windshields all the time. One guy emptied an entire clip of the stuff against an Iraqi and the feller just kept comin' at him... and then cut his head off with a rusty butcher knife while he was trying to reload but the laquer on the cases gummed his pistol up somthing fierce..."

I believe his post was a response to the "reenactment" comment; which I assume is a reference to the recent school shootings.

  Whoops, I didn't put shooting school and school shootings together.  

  Sorry

My G26 and G17 have never hiccuped on Wolf, but you would want to try it out before going to a class with nothing but Wolf, just in case.

Blazer aluminium case. Buy it at Academy Sports.

Never had a problem with it functioning in my Glocks or Sig.
