WOLF Performance Ammunition is a trademark associated with Sporting Supplies International (SSI), a corporation in the United States. The ammunition is mostly manufactured by Tulskiy Patronniy Zavod (Tula Cartridge Plant) in Tula, Tula District, Russia. Some .22-caliber rimfire ammunition is made by SK Jagd und Sportmunitions Gmbh (SK Hunting- and Sporting-Ammunition) of Schönebeck, Salzlandkreis, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
WOLF Performance Ammunition has several product lines which include:
Unlike some suppliers of such bargain-price ammo, WOLF uses newly manufactured rounds with non-corrosive Berdan- and Boxer-type primers. Russia is the world's largest source of 7.62×39mm ammunition, which is used by the Russian AK-47 and SKS family of rifles, as well as the Ruger Mini-30.
The Tula Cartridge Plant and Ulyanovsk Machinery Plant no longer manufacture cartridges for Wolf.
In 2005/2006, there was a shortage of 7.62×39mm ammunition in the United States. This had the effect of causing prices to almost double in some cases and WOLF's ammo to nearly disappear from the U.S. market in late 2006–early 2007. The ammunition shortage was due to Russian production lines struggling to fill a massive order placed by Venezuela, who had just adopted the AK-103 series of rifles, and by the United States to supply the fledgling Afghan Army. Even so, Wolf's 7.62×39mm is available in standard full-metal-jacket configuration, as well as hollow-point and soft-point bullet loads suitable for hunting.
