Be sure to ask the range very specifically if they have an issue with Wolf...a lot of Wolf bullets (I'm not sure if its all of them, or just some) use steel jackets...steel jackets, as opposed to brass, supposedly make bullets more prone to ricochet, and as a result, I know of several ranges that will "magnet test" rounds before they let them out on the range...most Wolf ammo, to my knowledge, will NOT pass such a magnet test...don't know if this is relevant with your range, but call and ask them about this specific issue before you buy a large quantity of Wolf...
Don't know if this will end up being an issue, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up about magnet tests and Wolf ammo...
A lot of ranges reload there own brass and want to sell it to you. It's a BS gimmick to prevent you from using your Wolf and buying their ammo. They also don't want to separate brass from steel empties. I find this stupid rule at only ranges who reload their own ammo. Wolf has the same ricochet potential as any projectile launched from a firearm. If the indoor range can't handle a ricochet from getting back to the firing line, I would not go there, for it is not correctly designed to be a safe indoor range.
