ive prolly went thru 5-6k wolf small pistol primers and never had a problem.. prolly another 1k small rifle primers with no problems. and 50 large pistol primers (44 mag, dont shoot it a whole lot )
The only issue I've heard of is they switched to a different cup material (silver colored), making them extremely hard. Supposedly they've switched back to the bronze.
You can call him and see. I'll pm u his # if you want and u can pick up at next match at magnolia. He's usually there. Stocking Dillon Dealer as well. Sales Dawson Sites too. Good guy to do business with and I'm sure a lot here can vouch for that.
Sorry if I'm jacking thread.
Ive bought all my stuff from Mr Tom in the past 3-4 years. Great guy!
I bought 20k primers from him back in May, along with some powder and bullets.. $1600 later and i was headed home :scratch:
I've been buying the Wolf 223 primers from www.powdervalleyinc.com. I believe $25.50 is their regular price for all the Wolf primers. They charge $25 hazmat fee, and they have all the Wolf primers in stock right now except Lrg Rifle Magnum.
I have used both Wolf Large Pistol & Small Pistol primers (brass colored). No problems with the Large Pistol primers. However, the Small Pistol primers were too hard for my tuned S&W 586 revolver. The Small Pistol primers should be fine for pistols and "factory" revolvers. I did sell the remaining 4500 Wolf SP primers to some one else. I have 5000 of the Wolf "223/5.56" Small Rifle primers, but have not used any yet. Anyone used these yet (comments)?
Yeah, I'm loading them in my 6.8. They are a harder cup to prevent slam fires, and some say they are a magnum primer. I don't know for sure, but I'm extremely happy, getting sub-MOA with these loads. No problems popping these hard primers in my AR. (It has a 'speed hammer' mod though, so YMMV.) Can be tough to get seated due to the hardness I guess. Overall very happy with these, and no plans to switch to anything else as long as they're available. HTH.
BTW, Wideners has a little rundown of the different Wolf small rifle primers here ...
