For the most part it is not the coating that is the problem it is the fact that steel cases do not expand as much as brass so a lot of carbon leaks past the case and into the chamber. Wolf comes in two colors an OD green and gray the gray is the ones that have the polymer coating. I have shot Wolf ammo with the polymer and lacquered coatings by the 1000s and the only time I have ever had any problems was with a Yugo 59/66A1 as it is designed to shoot brass cased ammo.

I've shot thousands of rounds of Wolf and various other lacquered military surplus ammo through my Hungarian & Chinese pre-ban AK's with NO trouble. Of course this only applies to 7.62x39, I only shoot quality stuff through my AR-15's and match rifles. I recommend cleaning after every trip to the range because Wolf tends to be a little dirty. Oh, before I forget- Wolf 9mm works great through my semi-auto UZI and I believe that stuff is lacquered also.
Bottom line; who cares which one is better- just shoot, have fun, clean later!!

I don't like any of the Wolf stuff. Wolf ammo jams in all of my guns (because of the laquer coating) except my old Russian surplus stuff. The Russian guns are built with the anticipation of firing laquer coated ammo, so they are built for it. You're much better off spending a few extra pennies, and shooting PMC or UMC instead. imho

Polymer is probably better because it is self-lubricating and laquer has caused a lot of problems in guns made OUTSIDE of eastern europe.

You have to try it to find out for yourself what works for you.
