That's a great price if those primers work. Lotta people got screwed real good buying Wolf primers that didn't work at all. Some had 10% ftf rate. Some came without anvils, etc.

I have used Wolf small rifle primers with excellent results. They are harder than the CCI primers, so some fail to fire may be due to that. I have not found one yet without an anvil, though. I've used about 1000 of them so far.

I've gone through about 3,000 Wolf primers that I've purchased in the last three years. Never had one fail to go bang yet. I'd say they're good to go.

That was just the thing with the Wolf primers: They were really good primers right up until they had a bad production run and left their customers stuck with the bill entirely. A very few people were refunded till Wolf realized the scale of the problem & then balked at everyone else. Now no one wants anything to do with them. No one trusts their products. Hence the $15/k (well below market rate) primers.

i think i will just stick with CCI

For those shooting hot loads, you can't beat Wolf (or Tula, they're made in the same factory on the same machines)...I'll pierce Federal, Winchester and CCI, but put a Wolf in, and vioala...no problem.

Wolf primers are ugly. They are non-round, ignite inconsistently, stuck in every press, and tend to explode upon priming.

I use exclusively Wolf/Tulammo because they work in my guns and my press. Everybody else on various forums is extremely unhappy with them.

It would have been better to stand behind the product - probably cheaper as well.

When CCI and others started gouging us for between 40 and 50 bucks per thousand for primers I switched to Wolf. I've never had a problem through about 2k rounds of .45 ACP.

I have been involved in the use of over 100,000 wolf primers and the only problem we had were a direct result of operator error.-----need to dry the case after cleaning with liquid cleaners. I have also sold over 20,000 at different gun show and have never had a customer complain about them. Now magtech on the other hand I'll never order again.

I've only tried their small pistol primers, and they all went bang for me. Guess I got lucky.

 

[TripleChris]

I am on the last 400 or so of the 3000 Wolf large pistol primers I got back in 2009. Every single one worked perfectly.

When did Wolf have the bad run?

 

[Chris L]

The one thread I found on Arfcom mentioned lot # 9-10. Then later in the same post, the OP found that he was only having the issue when using H335.

There was a good discussion on Benos as well but the thread went way too many pages for me to want to sort through it looking for lot numbers.

Well damn. Was getting ready to order 20k-30k of them. Was trying to figure out why the Tulas are $20 per 1k and the Wolf are $15 per 1k. That explains it.

They're good primers, I just got another 1K of small rifle magnum.
