My impression of the wolf rifle was that it seems to be a "good" entry level BP rifle.i wasn't impressed with the QLbp, took 3 times longer than the BP in my Triumph to remove. Bruce shot my rifle and was impressed how quickly you can remove the BP on mine compared to his.Bruce shot various powerbelt bullets and the accuracy was ok.the FPB's we didn't even attempt to try in the tight barreled wolf. the .500 thors shot well and he will be buying more of them and concentrate on working up a hunting load.he is also making the change to BH209 powder and i informed him there were ways to rework the wolf's BP so it would reliably ignite it every time.we went over all the important area's of muzzleloading, cleaning, working up loads, various powders ETC.he had cleanbore and 777 primers only and had one no fire with the 777 primers and pyrodex. i gave him a pack of STS primers and he had no further problems.he is a experienced hunter that has never shot a muzzleloader. and wanted to be sure he was doing things properly.
