Point well-taken. I clean my piece after every firing session just out of habit, but you're probably right about special need with Wolf. Frankly, the ammo isn't bad for what you need at a range (though it's got some sort of micro-confetti mixed in with the powder in it that makes shooting very festive for me). If you just want ammo to rattle off at the range at 15 cents a cartridge, I've had no problems (no duds or abberations) after putting 700+ rounds through. In fact, I've had way more issues with "surplus" rounds from my local shop. I have been pleasantly surprised by Wolf.
