AverageJoeShooting Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Anyone ever used wolf small rifle primers for 38sc reloading? I have like 5k of them and just wanted to know how they compare to Winchester small rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1A4ME Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Only duds I've ever had with my reloads were: Three .223 rounds loaded with Tula small rifle primers. Two .45 acp rounds loaded with Tula large pistol primers. Prior to that I'd used a couple thousand, or more, without issue. I've got a lot of them to use up, with practice/range ammo.

Hi-Power Jack Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The Russian primers are good, if your gun will ignite them. My BHP doesn't, and my TruBor does. Depends on the springs you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yah. Both Wolf and Tula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Long time ago the Tula SR primers (like the same or similar) caused primer pockets to loosen in my 38SC much faster than WSR. I stopped using them then and haven't been back, so maybe things are different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 During the great primer famine I used wolf srp and hated them, they were harder to seat. Plus I’d get 1-2 duds per hundred and yes they were seated properly I ended up using them only in my practice ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoeShooting Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 So...I have 5k of them just waiting to get used. I'll probably just load them all up and if I get a few duds here or there I dont care. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are highly coveted, and hard or impossible to find anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoeShooting Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wolf? Why did they go out of business of something? I kid you not I have 5k of them laying around.

EEH Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 A few years ago when primers were hard to get PV had a large shipment come in and I bought 25000 every one went bang with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I still have/use Wolf- purchased large amounts years ago when the primer shortage hit. Use them in Limited, and open. No issues to date with large or SMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARK Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Please, make sure you seat them all the way. When I stared using Tula few years ago I got frustrated because I had bunch of misfires. Once I started seating them harder, no problems in open guns.

usmc1974 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm only used about 10,000 of their srp (I got a very good deal on them), so I'm no expert. I used them for 38 Special 357 Magnum 9 mm and 223 never had one fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
