Thinking about buying some Wolf Primers when I get a chance. Does anyone know where I can find some data that cites Wolf primers?
however have encountered ignition problems with my striker fired guns"
which is why I don't use them in my glock..
I can't think of a single one either. WeirdWhy would you need Wolf Primer specific load data?
BTW: you have a beautiful state (WV). I just returned from Skiing at Snowshoe. I have been to Pipestem in the summer and rafted the New River. What a wild and beautiful state.

I wonder why you got the higher ES and SD with the first data set? Do you think that the temp had anything to do with it?
Yep. Small samples are nice indications, but can vary quite a bit due to the limited shots. If you think you have a keeper, a bigger sample is needed to give a good indication of Avg velocity, ES, & SD.Probably just due to more data. Limited sample sizes can give misleading information about trends.
When loading shotshells you should never change any component in the recipe. Some rifle loads are a little fussy with it comes to primers and handgun ammo is least effected by primer changes. For the most part if you use the same type of primer meaning Winchester standard in place of CCI standard primer there's no problem. When you start changing magnum primers for standard primers then the load changes a bit. (but not as much as you may think)So far I've only bought Lyman's 49th edition. Will probably buy the ABCs soon too. In their section on primers, they said that the primer can change the load and one should not substitute primers in reloading data because it could change the pressure of the load.
