Re: Wolf Primers
I loaded some for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they seemed fine. They all went bang and seated in the primer pocket OK.
I only had magnum primers (standard Wolf primers are ordered but not here yet) and I loaded them with non-magnum powders at beginning loads in .44 Mag (1894) just to see how they would do. Of the powders I tried they were the most accurate with W231, less so with Unique and Titegroup. When I get my order of new Wolf primers I will try the same powders with the standard primers and load some H110 with the magnum primers and compare.

Re: Wolf Primers
Does the packaging say anything definitive about being non-corrosive (and is there any way to test to see if that is true)? That would be my primary concern. Uniformity, accuracy, and longlevity too, but I definitely don't want to corrode old Betsy...

Re: Wolf Primers
The package reads "Small Pistol Magnum Primers, Standard Non-Corrosive" and "NCSPM" (Non Corrosive Small Pistol Magnum). The Large Pistol Magnum primers have "Non-Corrosive" and "NCLPM".AJMD429 wrote:Does the packaging say anything definitive about being non-corrosive (and is there any way to test to see if that is true)?

Re: Wolf Primers
I'd like to see some chronograph data on these when compared to CCI, Winchester or Federal primers (the first two being my favorite). In a pistol it may not matter as much as most of us can't shoot as well as our pistolas. I think in a rifle it would be a whole other enchilada. That my two.

Re: Wolf Primers
I'd just like to find some locally to buy and try. But there is a real drought of components in this place.

Re: Wolf Primers
I did some research on the reloading forums on The High Road and The Firing Line before I ordered. Some reloaders who had chrono'd the Wolf primers reported the deviation was within a range of 20-30 fps IIRC. That might just be variations in the powder charge.CowboyTutt wrote:I'd like to see some chronograph data on these when compared to CCI, Winchester or Federal primers (the first two being my favorite).

Powder Valley and Wideners have the Wolf primers for $19 per 1000 if you order 5000 or more.

Re: Wolf Primers
GTO that is a respectable ES and could be caused by many handloading factors as you mentioned. I doubt I will every try them as I'm "primer snooty" and get the best I can get, but I look forward to hearing about them.

Re: Wolf Primers
Anyone else have experience with WOLF primers? I bought 2K small rifle primers. Places like BPS, Cabelas, and GM are charging close to $50 for a thousand primers.

Re: Wolf Primers
I have quite a few Wolfe primers in all sizes. I have not tried all sizes but what I have have worked just fine. If it ever gets warm here I will do some bench work and report. So far, accuracy is on par with my win loaded rounds.

Re: Wolf Primers
Well I hope they work well in my Guns I recived my order of powder an primers. Bought 20,000 wolf primers cost 90$ per 5000.
Re: Wolf Primers
I use them, just to be sure you have them set well in the pirmer pocket, you get a pop then boom if you dont.
I think thay are well worth the money.
