Wolf Primers

[Surculus Solitudo]

Anyone out there using Wolf brand primers?  I have a shot at some for a decent price.  Opinions?

I have some Large Pistol Magnum by Wolfe. They all go bang so far. The only differences are the primers aren't nickle plated, and the are just a bit harder to seat. I haven't measured them yet to see if they are demintionally different, and I don't have a chronograph; they work just fine.

I have used them in SP and LP without any problems. For me they seem to seat the same as Win primers.

I have been using Wolf primers for about a year.  I was buying primers one time and the Wolf were about $10 cheaper than Federal.  So, I gave them a try.  No problems.  I have used small and large pistol with no issues.  I went to buy some small rifle for my AR-15 and the tech at Wideners advised to use SR Magnum in .223 for AR-15 use to avoid slam fires.  According to the tech, they tested the SR and SRM primers and they had the same amount of compound and burned at the same rate and at the same temp.  But, the magnums are made of brass and not copper and the stronger metal resists slam fires when the bolt goes to battery.  In the past few months, the Wolf have been more available than the others.

Wolf primers.
After firing them I found small scratches in my H&S test "pressure test" barrel.
Close inspecting with a bore scope, they look like silica in the primer mix.
These scratches were not there before.
So I repeated the test on a different barrel.
Same results.
Wolf primers are slowly, “when it burns” is releasing a small amount of binding silica when fired.
Bad news, Wolf primers not for me.
