About Wolf
Wolf Ammunition is a US-based importer that sources ammunition from multiple overseas manufacturers. Historically, Wolf's steel-cased line was manufactured at Russian plants (Tula, Barnaul, Ulyanovsk). Their Wolf Gold line is notably different — it is brass-cased ammunition manufactured in Taiwan, making it a brass-cased budget option unaffected by Russian import restrictions. Wolf ammo is widely used for high-volume range shooting and AK/SKS platforms.
