Is wolf 12ga. slug ammo good ammo ?

[Gmcrigger2007]

What brands of 12 ga. slug ammo do you try to stay away from or shoot the most ?

Locally I can find Federal, Winchester, Brenneke, and Remington.  That’s what my stash consists of and what I stick with.

Pretty much what i usually use , but local shops don't have to much inventory lately. I  just try to replace what i use.

Wolf slugs are excellent.

Been shooting them for years out of M4s.  Never a failure of any kind.  But those were the made in Germany versions.

One hole at 50yds from a bench if you do your part.

New production is Russian and I have only fired a few of those.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know they were originally a German product in the past. Were the boxes different from was is being sold today ?

Russian Wolf stuff is dirty...lots of residue after shooting.  The German stuff was a lot cleaner.

No.

I found the german slugs to be quite dirty (SB too) as far as leading in the barrel but no big deal.

I've have mostly used Federal & Remington Shells.  Recently picked up Some RC Tiro  A Palla slugs( Stuff from Italy)  to try out . Only stuff i could find locally for now.

Put a crap ton  of wolf through, and no issues.  I think, due to the kid being a fiend with it, there were about 600 shot in one setting and just fine.  That’s when it was relatively new.  lotsa other stuff through as well, and the m4 eats it like candy. Dirty? Who cares, it’s built for it.
