I've heard a lot about cheap Wolf ammo and how dirty it is. I've heard some people downright say don't use it or it will damage your gun. If you clean your gun on a daily basis, however, should this even be a problem for you?
I've use cheap Wal-Mart ammo like the cheap Magtech, Remington, and Winchester for practice (I like Speer Gold Dot for home defense), and my gun hasn't ever malfunctioned with any of these...is Wolf much different then those?

One of my guns wouldn't cycle right with Wolf. Maybe it was a bad batch or something, but it almost seemed to be under powered or something. The recoil even felt funny to me. I didn't notice it being any "dirtier" or anything like that.
I haven't had any problems with the cheap Wally world ammo either. I did try some cheap Remington .22 ammo that left this weird waxy build up in my .22 however. I was told that it was a lubricant or something but it did the exact opposite by causing jams.

One may be none and two may be one, but three is always fun.

I've not used much Wolf handgun ammo, but when I did, it ran normally in both .40 S&W (Glock) and .45 ACP (Springfield).
I bought a bulk batch of Wolf .223 Rem from Sportsman's Guide and it caused no problems in my Mini-14 (but then again, you could run a railroad spike through a mini-14 without jamming it).
Mostly I use whatever wally world has the cheapest for practice and stick with Cor-Bon for self preservation.

My brother used Wolf ammo in his .300 mag, and you could definitely notice a difference from the better ammo. But, it never jammed in any of the rifles we used, and it didn't seem dirtier. Some people said the cases are cheap and can't be reloaded that well, but I don't personally have experience with that.
Someone even told me to not use it in my desert eagle because the pressure wasn't enough to efficiently cycle the gas tube piston back. I think some stories are a little exaggerated since I've heard an equal amount of stories that Wolf worked flawless in their guns.

They have 2 different types of ammo.
One type (the one most people use like hand gun and .223 rem) has a steel case and is not reloadable.
They also make a "Gold" series of rifle ammo. My son has used it in his .243 Win. hunting rifle to take deer. It performed well and is reloadable.
