Wolf Primers???

[Clarence]

Anyone have experience with Wolf primers? I've got a chance to get some at a pretty good price. Will they substitute for CCI or WW large pistol primers?

Thanks

Clarence

Haven't used the Wolf LP but I am currently using Wolf SP in place of Winchester SP. I have had no problems what so ever. I did re-verify my loads with the Wolf's but noticed no big difference.

Hi, Clarence.

I just did a search using the term "Wolf primers" ("Search" button on the green bar above) and found 110 threads on this exact question. I did the search because I remember answering this question a dozen times. In addition to my answer below, you'll get a lot more information by reading those threads.

Many of us have used tens of thousands of Wolf primers with no ill effect.
They appear to be good, and yield the same performance as any other.
They appear to be on par with Winchester in terms of sensitivity.
They offer a full line of magnum and standard types.
Give 'em a try.

I'm have been using Wolf SP and LP without any problems. I haven't had a chance to use the SR primers.

I've loaded about 1000 rounds of 40 S&W with Wolf primers, no problems, good performance. The price is right too.

Wolf primer is good... goes bang every time for me!

That's good to hear. I've got 10K large pistol ordered.

I'ved used a couple thousand..... worked just fine...... have 5000 more small rifle magnum arriving next week.....

ive only used the large rifle magnum primer in 300wsm and 7mm wsm and have found the cup is tough and sits a bitdeeper in the Winny cases, the result being that Browning Abolts and Savage 12s will not always fire them reliably esp when its cold. My 700s love em and the acurracy is a touch better than the most popular BR primers. Trying to get some in small rifle. But from my exam of the online reloading sources there appears to be a panic in the primer dept. Yhe listings of available will change while youre makin a choice-- to unavailable

I just ordered 200,000 of them. I've used probably 10,000 so far. Yes, they are good. SEARCH function is your friend.

Wow that's a lot of primers!
You sure must shoot alot. I just received an order for 7k Wolf primers. Best for the price. But I see the price is going up.

 

[taliv]

evan, how many are you allowed to store in one place?

you keep them at 20 different friends' houses?

I just ordered 200,000 of them.

He is honchoing a large group buy over at Ohioans for Concealed Carry. So he won't be storing them. As a matter of fact, a sleeve of large pistol magnum primers has my name on them when they arrive.

 

[RustyFN]

I'm close to Marietta. How close are you guys?

[Jumping Frog]

We are in Central Ohio, but there are group buy participants from all over the state.

If you are from Marietta, I encourage participation in Ohioans for Concealed Carry.

Frog, UPS dumped two very large boxes on my porch. Your sleeve of LP-M are available at your convenience.
