Wolf Primers:good or iffy?

[justinLB]

I love wolf primers! When you empty a pack onto a primer tray their already anvil side up and perfectly spaced for a pick-up tube.

I just got some Wolf Large Magnum Pistol primers. This will be my first time using them. I'll let you know...

Just loaded the last of 5,000 small pistol primers on my Dillon 1050's. They work just fine. Sometimes (very few) they don't seat as smooth as the W-W, but they are nice. I would buy them again.

Some reports of failure to ignite from the BE guys.

Wolf primers

I have been using large pistol primers for a few years now and have found them to be great value for the buck. have not had any misfire in over 6000.

I don't know about their pistol primers, because I only tested Wolf large rifle primers. The large rifle primers gave me better group than Federal match primers, believe it or not.

That's good news since I ordered a few boxes of large rifle as well. Thanks for the input. I have not received anything else back from wideners, so I'm hoping that means they are filling the order or have shipped it.

I thought this was the same thread as someone just posted a week ago but its not.. so friggen search man!

[CGT80]

It was started a week ago, and yes I did search. Search on calgun sucks. I needed some current info.

This is how my Wolf primers did in my rifles:

1. Remington 700 5R (10 shots at 100 yards)


2. Remington 700 XCR (5 shots each at 100 yards)

[CGT80]

Very nice. Thanks for the input.

I have been using the LP, LR, & SR primers. The only problem I have had was with the LP ones. I have noticed they take a little more force to seat and I have been getting approximately 1 or 2 failure to fire out of every 100. They do however tend to go off after the second strike. I have used Remington and winchester before and had no problems with them.

RE: WOLF SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS
batch: 12-09 (a little bronze tinge but more of a silver, compared to WSP bronze)

i got my delivery for wolf primers a week ago and reloaded about 300. i shot 100 yesterday, i had probably 10 out of 100 that didnt go off on first strike, that is 1/10. i was thinking something is wrong with the primer, waited 10seconds, nothing happened, pulled back the hammer and it fired for the second strike. so its true, WOLF primer runs a little harder than Winchester.

I swore not to put anything Russian (no offense) on my pistol, but since its the only primer i have, i might have to go back to a heavier hammer spring.

The high power champion David Tubb and other shooting champions exclusively use Wolf primers last time I heard it.
