That lacquered coating issue is a thing of the past. They have a new coating on their ammo that works fine. I tend to think a lot of the problems people have with some ammo has to do with the quality of firearm more so than they quality of ammo. If you bought a Stag AR-15 or other parts AR-15s, then most of your problems are the gun and not the ammo. My Colt, Bushmaster and S&W AR-15s feed Wolf brand ammo without any issues.

The problem with Wolf Ammo is the steel case.  (Or any steel case ammo...)  The steel case does not expand properly to seal the chamber from the dirty gases.  These dirty gases channel carbon into the chamber and foul the chamber.  This fouling causes 'failure to extact', 'split case rims', and 'failure to eject/Stove Pipe' stoppages.  I have never seen Wolf Ammo "blow up a gun", but I have had the above problems with the above failures with Wolf Ammo in a BushMaster AR-15, and a Ruger Mini-14.  And thats why I do not buy Wolf Ammo. 

Essentially:  It's cheap, but you get what you pay for.
