I think Wolf is the brand name for Sporting Supplies International based in the U.S. Wolf primers were made by the Murom plant in Russia. Don't know if they're sanctioned or not.

I, for one, used to swear by them, but will probably never buy them again. Had about 3 k of them corrode in their boxes. Couldn’t get any satisfaction from them.

Quoted:
I'm down to my last 400 wolf magnum .223 primers, they've been fantastic. Do you think the import ban will ever be lifted? I know there's plenty of other options and I will now be moving on to my stash of S&B's from the glory days of Cabelas blow out sales.(sadly those days are over too) But did run out of SP. 
Also out of Tula Boxer primers. Stacked deep on the Tula Berdan primer for 7.62x39. Still have a few S&B's, but they won't last the year. So far the Fiochhi SP that come in the 150 count box are doing fine in 9mm. Fired about 3k so far. The very best primer for 223 IMHO is the Rem 7 1/2. It's what I use in precision loads. eta, I'm not counting on the ban being lifted in the near future. No proof, just what I think. Hope I'm wrong. |

I only use Winchester primers. Zero failures in 30 years of reloading. Zero failures even when I know they've been sitting on a shelf for at least 10 years.
And zero corrosion issues. They cost more...but it's worth it to me. |

Why is it that Wolf loaded ammo is cheap and plentiful but their primers are not ?
BTW, still sitting on a pile of Tula sp primers. |

I use them in all my long range loads for low MV variation, I'm down to my last 2500 LR primers .

I echo some of the other comments and like the Wolf/Tula branded .223 primers. I don't see them being imported again, but hope I'm wrong. In my limited testing, CCI 41 seems to be close. I'm down to about 32,000 left.
 On the other hand, the regular strength small rifle primers could be easily pierced at .223 type pressures and gave failures to ignite medium speed ball powders, so I used them up in .30 carbine. I equate them to Reming 6 1/2's. |

I am burning up my last case of Wolf. CCI is what I will be using from here on out.

Loved the Wolf and Tula.
The Fiocchi run great through my 1050's but I find them to be a bit on the weak side. |

Same boat on the Wolf primers, down to my last 1k, but have 10k in Tula, before I have to break into some S&B.
On the local supply front down to my last 1k of CCI small pistol primers and will be having to move into the S&B for those as well. |

I burned 3K of them last year, very good results with extruded powders, not so good with ball. Had a few failed ignition problems with TAC with some lots of the primers.

In fact, I threw a bunch of Berdan brass in the scrap bucket the other day since I dot believe we will ever see Russian Berdan primers here again (brass was sort of corroded too). I remember the old Norinco brand Chinese 223 ammo. I believe .gov used the same method to ban it from import. It's still banned, even after all these years. |

The non magnum Wolf SRP work great in my M1 Carbine, but not worth a shit in an AR.

Loaded thousands with Wolf with the 5.56 SR Mag primers and mil pulldown 844. No problems with either. $15.50 per 1k I was losing money by not buying them (should have bought more). I don't think they will ever come back ??.
