Wolf Ammo in .308 Howa

Hi,
Anyone used Wolf ammo in.308 and if so what are your experiences. I have a Howa stainless steel heavy barrel in .308 and intend to try various brands of well known ammo but Wolf is unknown to me . All ammo will be used on range shooting and will be FMJ.

It is what it is. Cheap plinking ammo, usually steel cased. It's OK, not great. But it is cheap and if you just want to shoot at a few targets, without top notch accuracy it's fine.

Apparently being steel cased they lack the expansion properties of brass so can build up more carbon than normal and require more frequent cleaning.
Could more relate to pistols though being most people go a few trips before cleaning pistols.

I haven't figured out how to post links, otherwise I'd post this one:

" Lucky Gunner Brass vs Steel cased Ammo, an epic torture test"

Long story short, it's a test with 4 AR 15's firing a spread of .223 Federal, Wolf, Tula, and Brown bear ammo, 1 type per rifle, 10 000 round test
.
Federal finished well. The others..........less so.
