Wolf Primers

[ERC12]

Finaly found some primers. But they are Wolf .223 SRP. I hope they are not full of duds.

By all means report back. I have about 2k of these not used yet but I plan to use them when I reload my .223...

Theres another thread going on... Check that out... Seat them deep and hope cor the best

I started the other thread. Yup, they are short, evidently, so I had to fully seat on the press, not the hand primer.

My problems look to be due to my own negligence in not cleaning out the oil I used during re-sizing. I pulled the rounds apart and there was definite contamination.

I'm betting that's the majority of my problems. The hang fire issue? mmmm dunno. It seems like from my study that if you want the best results, don't use H335. Good luck finding any powder at all though! LOL if I didn't laugh I'd cry.

Great that is all I have is H335. I found another store in Stockton Ca that have CCI 400 but I already had bought the Wolf.

I haven't had any problems with my wolf small rifle primers.

I have loaded more than 1k wolf and have had no problems.

Wolf primers are great for accuracy and consistency. They are slightly larger in diameter so 'crush seating' takes a little more effort and skills.

I got 1 dud out of the couple thousands I shot. I had a couple of duds from Winchester over the years. Not 1 from Federal or Remington. My buddy had a few Wolf duds but that's because he ultrasonically cleaned his brass but didn't dry them before he started loading. Somehow he thought primers were waterproof.

Wolf primers' velocity SD & ES are extremely low compare to other primers. 10fps SD and 15fps ES is pretty good from a frangible 90gr 9x19 load at 1250fps avg. I couldn't duplicate that kind of consistency with Fed match.

ps. when i said 'crush' i meant applying pressure slowly during seating. Not slamming it in hard.

thanks Huckberry I will surley seat those primers good.

David Tubb, one of the best long range riflemen in the country, uses Russian primers. He found, like Huckberry, they are really consistent. They'll probably be out of stock for the rest of our lives....

I got a bunch of the Wolf SRP on a previous mad rush occassion. I have read for 5.56 loads the SRM as in magnum primers were the correct ones and that the primer cup material on the standard SRP maybe too thin to handle the pressures of the 5.56 loads and pierce. I have been sitting on my primers for a couple years now and haven't gotten to where I need them yet so I can't say I have any experience with this......just something to be aware of if you're planning on using them for 5.56 loads.

Just because it has the name WOLF doesnt mean its bad. 22lR wolf is one of the best rimfire ammo out there.

I only use Wolf Small Rifle Magnum primers with WC844 and have had nothing but great results. No duds, great consistency, no problems with seating. Not much more you can ask, especially when they only cost $15 per thousand. I wish I bought more than 5k last time around though...
