Doe anyone elses rifle jam with wolf ammo?

This is the first time that I have shot the rifle.

Clean your chamber better between shooting sessions might help some. Is your rifle
new or has it had quite a few rounds through it? Sometimes Wolf is hard to get to work
in newer rifles untill they get broken in well.

Need more data. What are the details on the barrel?

Just from what you posted I'd say its a tight chamber. Probably a .223 chamber. But that's just a guess.

Some rifles will digest Wolf, others will choke on it. I have a carbine that hates it, while two other rifles run it just fine.

First try cleaning your chamber, then try the Wolf again. If you continue to have FTE’s you might look at a new extractor or at a minimum, an extractor upgrade kit. If the FTE’s continue, stick with brass cased ammo.

The rifle is new. It is a DPMS 20" A2 chambered for 5.56 and .223

I've never used Wolf, and from what I read in all these forums I'm staying away from it. That includes ALL my firearms, not just AR's.

Was just reading today about one guy who keeps a specially tuned AR  to use with Wolf (lightweight buffer, weak recoil spring, that sort of thing).   I know their ammo is cheap, but you get what you pay for.
