I shoot a lot of Wolf ammo the primers are harder than most brands , so if you have light primer hits you will have rounds not going off once in a while. So no light hamer springs!
Most people that have problems with it have light primer hits.
I have shot several thousand rnds each of 762 X 39 , 223 and 9mm. I will not call it match grade but it's not junk. Great plinking ammo.
Just so you know they use steel cases

Shot about 50 rounds through my XD9 without a problem. Shot a couple hundred through my SKS without a problem. Some people believe the steel cases are hard on the extractor on semi-autos. You'll also find many people that say that Wolf ammo is dirtier than ammo like WWB or UMC.

Like anything else, try it and see how your gun likes it.

Might want to check Ammoman.com or Ammunitionstore.com for pricing. Both of these places have good reputations.

Check to see if you are shooting sub-sonic rounds out of your HI Power. It may like hotter loads to function well. Mine didn't like low power loads either without changing the spring. I don't know what the Wolf 9mm ammo is for sure.
