1000 Rounds of 9mm Ammo by Wolf Performance (Steel Case) – 115gr FMJ

British actor Alan Bates once said “You’ve got to have steel in you somewhere.” Was he talking about a man’s character? Or was he talking about affordable ammunition? Probably the latter — British actors are well known for frequently commenting on ammunition.

This 9mm cartridge passes Bates’ test because its shell casing is made of steel rather than costlier brass. It still performs marvelously in a semi-automatic thanks to Wolf’s proprietary acrylic-polymer coating, a material that manages to facilitate both feeding and ejection but without leaving an ugly amount of residue in its wake. This round’s Berdan primer serves as an additional reason why you won’t be reloading this ammo, but if you didn’t intend to reload anyway that’s hardly a glowing downside.
