Wolf Ammo and Serbia???
« on: July 12, 2008, 01:38:57 AM »
Besides the obvious exporting of U.S. dollars, are there other political ramifications involved in buying Wolf.......are we supporting good or bad guys?

Exporting dollars?  There isn't a lot made in the US period anymore.  Ammo or not.

Wolf is an importation company based in the US.  My impression is that it is an American company that buys ammo from Serbia, Bosnia, Russia, Israel, whatever.  Look at it in terms of the markup.......most of the money is staying in the US anyway. 

I think that it is odd that there is ammo imported from Bosnia and ammo imported from Serbia.  But I don't lose sleep over it either way.

There are a couple of different Russian plants, Tula, Ulyanovsk, and another. 

I don't really dig on giving Russians my money........but take your pick will it be Russian or Chinese?  American ammo is expensive. 

It used to be that Wolf 7.62x39 was cheaper than reloading....but I don't think that is the case anymore.  I will have to break out the calculator.  Steel cased 7.62x54 is still cheaper to me as I have no brass for the Mosin-Nagant yet.  I will reload my brass for the Mosin as I fire it, but that could take awhile.
