Depends on a couple of things. First, Wolf has Match Target and Match Extra. Older Wolf that was made by Lapua/SK in Germany was Wolf MT/SK Standard+ and Wolf ME/SK Rifle Match. Same lines and machines.
If it's newer Wolf, then it is made by Eley. I don't know what the Eley equivalent for MT and ME is, but pretty sure someone here knows.

Fresh baked bread all smells pretty much the same.
I would suspect there is probably the same powder but some differences in specs and lube.

From what I have read Wolf Target is the same as Eley Target & Wolf Match Extra is the same as Eley Club!!

Regarding the older SK made Wolf ammo....Scott had it correct in post #2 above. See the quote from Adam Braverman of Nammo on RFC Note the post was from 2015 and regarding SK & Lapua ammo. He also mentions Wolf (in bold)

"Let's put this rumor to rest now. SK and Wolf are both produced at the Nammo Lapua Schonebeck factory in Germany on one production line and Lapua Rimfire products are produced there on another production line. The components are not the same for SK/Wolf and for Lapua. SK Rifle Match and Wolf Match Extra are the same product and SK Standard Plus and Wolf Match Target are the same product.

We are not discontinuing the SK. We do have new packaging that will be coming through the distribution pipeline. As the old packaging supplies are exhausted, the new will replace.

Like in most products, just change the box or label.

Wolf was never a Nammo Lapau brand line in itself. it was a private labeled Lapua product (SK) used for fulfilling the Wolf contract. for some reason Nammo decided they were not going to do private labeling anymore and only have Nammo Lapua products on the market under their name only.

Current Wolf is produced by Eley what they are using to fill the boxes is as far as I know an unanswered question.

When Wolf was produced by SK, which produces only entry level match ammo varieties, it was Rifle Match and SK Standard Plus.

Now that Eley is producing Wolf, it seems unlikely that Eley would develop new, previously not existing varieties of ammo to fill Wolf orders. It makes sense that two of its existing entry level match ammo varieties are being used to fill Wolf boxes, perhaps Eley Club and Eley Target.

I wouldn't really put it that Ely produces Wolf. but rather Eley now is the supplier of Wolf. Wolf was never a specific produced line of ammo as far as RF goes.

But I understand that it is Eley primed

And yes, it would be since it is Eley ammo. headstamp is Eley. when Lapua used SK to supply Wolf it was Lapua headstamp.

No matter the semantics, some entity produces what's in the Wolf boxes and that would be Eley. To claim otherwise seems unfounded. Just a few posts earlier, you yourself put it this way.

Times change. In the past you were engaging and not so antagonistic. Made a little more sense, too.

There seems nothing left to add to this thread.

Hey Glenn, per your quote: Made a little more sense, too. I will make clearer so even you can understand. I remember why I DON'T ENAGE YOU ON THE FORMS!
