At the last Rochester Gun Show, I heard so many guys comment how Wolf ammo was garbage, quite a few actually!

I picked up 2000 rounds of 7.62x39 last year. It was quite good ammo.
I expected something like that... But you have to use their products to get a taste of them. Their guns are crude, so crude, that you basically have to do complete rebuilds to bring them to shootable conditions. Their ammo flies anywhere but not where you want it to fly. Nuff had, nuff said.
I do not want to mention anything that I did not personally own, so a couple examples for you:
I have a box of Wolf sitting in the gun cabinet. It has poor accuracy and flies too low compared to milspec ammo. If you roll the cartridges, the noses on lots of bullets make circles and overall length of a lot differs by, umm, a lot, resulting in large differences in speed at which bullet enters the rifling.
My dad bougt a brand new s/a shotgun which jammed until the gunsmith filed off quite a bit of a lifter.
You in North America are in better position than people in Russia, because russian export had always had better QA than products for domestic markets. So you have no idea how atrocious is quality of Tula made firearms and ammo that we've been fed [up] with.
If you could read Russian, there are some horror stories about recent models of over/under where barrels cannot be lined up with stock adjustments and new brackets have to be manufactured.
Izhevsk is better in the end.

I am extremely curious to know which military weapons you have owned or used which were made at Tula....
Obviously you have a vast experience with the, I have been on both ends of Tula made weapons, I have never noted the problems you mention.
Looking forward to your comments

Hi
Years ago a friend of mine got his hands on a Finnish Nagant rifle at a gun show for $35 bucks. One of those, "I don't want to bring it back home" deals.
Anyway, the first box of ammo we got for it was a box of NNY. 150 something grain FMJ bullet. It shot low did not group well, so we raised the sights and chalked it up to a very heavy trigger pull.
A couple of years ago I bought one box of wolf 200grn pointed soft points because I had an itch to shoot a Nagant. Anyway this stuff shot right on with the correct sight setting for the distance and gave nice small groups.
If I owned a Nagant rifle, Wolf ammo would be on my shopping list.
If Wolf has quality control issues, I would bet it is not with any of the Russian calibers.
