About WOLF Performance Ammunition
WOLF Performance Ammunition is a California-based ammunition brand best known for affordable steel-cased cartridges. The WOLF trademark belongs to Sporting Supplies International (SSI), a U.S. company founded in 2005. For its first years, most WOLF ammunition was made at the Tula Cartridge Plant in Tula, Russia, and the brand became a staple for shooters feeding AK-pattern rifles, SKS carbines and other military-pattern firearms on a budget, as well as for high-volume practice in common pistol and rifle calibers.
Tula and the Ulyanovsk Machinery Plant stopped making cartridges for WOLF in 2009 following legal disputes, and the brand moved to other suppliers. Its lines have since included Polyformance and Military Classic steel-cased ammunition from Russian factories, brass-cased WOLF Gold made in Taiwan (formerly by Prvi Partizan) and WOLF rimfire made by Eley in England. In April 2017 WOLF also drew attention for selling more than a thousand T91 rifle uppers in one day after release. For gun owners, WOLF has long been one of the names that kept range time affordable, though its sources of supply have changed over the years.
