I am running low on my supply of cci small pistol primers. Who here has used wolf primers, and how did they stack up to other primers that u have used.
btw I'm loading for a Beretta px4 storm 40 sw 5.2grns bullseye 180 grn Rainer cci 500 |

Quoted:
I just got some Wolf small pistol primers so I have not loaded any yet but have used over 5k Wolf small rifle primers and 1k Wolf larger rifle primers with no problems at all. They work, are easy to find, same price as everything thats sold out, and maybe 2 or 3 out of a thousand will fail to ignite. The fact that I have 17k of primers even though they are Wolf severely out weights the possibility I might have 5 or 6 to not go off. |

I wouldn't get any Wolf primers right now, this is from another board, note the current date on the post! He's having about 10% failure rate on the Wolf primers. February 8, 2010 The more powerful striker spring had no material affect on the reliability of my Wolf SP primers  I emailed Wolf today asking if they had resolved the problem that caused my primer failures, since I wished to purchase more primers but did not want to do so if similar problems would occur. Their answer was pretty unequivocal: "No the problem has not been corrected, please do not repurchase any of our primers at this time, the problem has not been resolved, please note that we will not process another return for you at this time, since you are aware of the issues." |

Wolfs Magnum small pistol primers vs CCI standard small pistol. The Wolfs produced lower speeds and higher ES and SD in my 9mm. Listed are just two tests, but Wolf consistently under perform CCI. 9mm / Browning Hipower CCI small pistol primer 5.6gr Power Pistol 124gr JHP OAL 1.10 Ave 1123 ES 42 SD 11 Wolf small pistol magnum 5.6gr Power Pistol 124gr JHP OAL 1.10 Ave 1099 ES 65 SD 18 |

Might make a difference. |
