I brought a Jerico 941, very nice gun, but I'm having some feeding problems with it. So far I've shot Wolf ammo as well as S&B. The S&B seems to work a lot better with less feeding problems than the wolf. I've exchanged one mag hoping that was the problem but it turns out is wasn't. Could this be an ammo issue.

What feeding problems are you having exactly? Could you be limp wristing? An ammo related issue isn't out of the question but you're already using two different manufacturers. It could also be a defect but you won't know until you eliminate some other possibilities.
"One common result of limp wristing is a failure to eject, as the slide will be moving too slowly at the point where the ejector is activated. The slow moving case will be caught as the slide closes, resulting in a stovepipe jam. These jams can be easily dealt with by knocking the used brass out of the way with the side of your hand or closed fist. The other common result of limp wristing is a failure to return to battery; the slide will be moving too slowly to move the new cartridge fully into the chamber, so the slide will stop partially open. The least common form of failure is a failure to feed, where the slide returns to battery on an empty chamber, because the slide moved back just far enough to eject the fired cartridge, but not enough to strip the next round from the magazine."

I've shot about 200 rounds through it so far, so I'm thinking that it should be broke in by now.
@xHEADSHOTx - I'm not sure what limp wristing is, but when I insert a mag and release the action, the round gets jammed on the feeding ramp and the action doesn't go forward all the way. A couple of times it happened when I was firing and it did not cycle all the way.

I had a batch of Wolf 9mm 124gr fmj that wouldn't feed properly in my Jericho, but this over a year ago. I sold it to a friend with a Glock 17. I talked to the distributor and apparently it was a batch with either different bullets or they were seated differently, but CZs and their clones (Jericho) were having problems with this batch. I have since bought more of the same ammo and it feeds flawlessly (different batch). Maybe it happened again or you have an older batch?
In addition to polishing the feedramp, check if the mag springs are too stiff. If they are, keep the mags loaded for a couple of days.
I had 'failure to eject' issues with my Jericho at the beginning, but after about 200 rounds it was good. Mind you, I never used Wolf's ammo.
Re-clean & lube the gun well, it likes to run wet. Also clean inside the firing pin channel, you wouldn't believe the sh*t I found there.

I use reloads only, and haven't had any issues. You may want to check OAL, CZ pistols and their clones - including Jericho - are known for OAL that is shorter than usual.
