The very popular Wolf branded ones were actually imported Murom primers.

After all the troubles started they could no longer be imported.

Excellent primers and they were cheap. I think I paid $17.00 per 1000. They must be firmly seated to the bottom of the primer pocket or a very rare fail to fire will occur.

Very good primers. Even the KVB223 worked well in .223 loads out of my service rifle with moderate 52gr loads of 748. Never had a problem with pierced primers.

Also got the Wolf large and small Murom primers.  

My only bitch is they were slightly inconsistent in diameter and had a corresponding variance in seating feel.   None fell out.  

I think i had one with a missing anvil out of thousands and when you deprime the spent Wolf/Muroms the anvils usually separated and that was rather meaning less of a “failure”.

Thanks.

I had picked up 10,000 cheap from Am Rel.  And have used Wolf well in the past.

Loaded up a few hundred rounds of MK262 Service rifle 77 gr ammo with the.  Took out to get up dated chrono data.

1st shot.  Dud
2nd round.  DUD

Well that's not good

High primers.  Restrikes had no effect

Next 20 rounds, flush primers - every one of those shot great.

So... sigh

Yes  good primers, but in my experience high primers in .223 is a non-item in an AR with all brands - except for these.  

Right now, I'm not going to trust them in competition until I get a lot more of them successfully tested.

I made more ammo (not tested) amd this time a lot more attuned to making sure seated flush or better.  So we'll see!
