So has anyone actually experienced any slam fires w/ said primers?
Are the cups softer than Fed 205's? ETA-picked up 5k and 8 more lbs of TAC. |

I always heard here that you are supposd to use the magnum primers so now it appears that it really does not matter.

So are you saying that you've always used Wolf SR primers and have never had a problem? I've only been reloading for a couple of years but it is my understanding that all other MAGNUM primers actually contain more priming compound and don't just refer to the hardness of the primer cup. |

Any kind of SR primers. I bought 2000 Wolf SR primers earlier this year and that is my friend and I shooting some of them in that video. They all have gone bang and put a hole into the paper I was pointing it at.  |

They're gone now.
I bought 10k of the Wolf SR (non magnum) last night and there was 252k left. Apparently the people who bought the last 252k don't have a problem with them either.

Maybe their regular primers are hot as they are. Their magnum SR primers have harder cups for higher pressures/slam fire prevention, and they light all my 'magnum primer recommended' loads fine. |

I'm not too concerned about them going bang when they're supposed to. I'm worried about them going bang when they're not supposed to. Originally Posted By HK_Shooter_03:

Or they're like me and have never used them but are just sick of being w/o primers for the past 3 months and are willing to buy whatever is available. |

I was up at 2AM last night looking at the web site. They were down to 146 units. I decided NOT* to buy. I saved them for you guys.
*no reflection on the product, just don't need them right now. |

Well I've never had a slam fire and I've used nothing but small rifle primers for tens of thousands of 5.56 loads. (I load close to the minimum) The Wolf SR primers I shot in that video and the ones after the camera cut off acted no different. |

So you're saying you've used over ten thousand Wolf SR primers and have never had a slam fire? |

No I've used tens of thousands of other brands of SR and coming up on 1k Wolf SR. I never knew I was supposed to buy SRM but it hasn't hurt me. For all the people who are submitting another order. I wouldn't be surprised if Widener's bills us for HAZMAT twice and ships both orders in one box.  |

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered 5K Wolf SRM primers (and 8lbs of TAC for a good measure).
They're down to 391 now... |

When I originally started this thread, I placed an order for some. Then my CFO/wife approved another order, which meant I was probably going to get 2 hazmat fees. I emailed them and asked if they could combine them into a single order, and they said they already had.  Don't know if that's typical, but that's what happened for me. |
