wolf has recently changed their 223 primer compound so I thought I would post this warning. It should not make much difference but you should rework loads if you use this primer. Or you can use their magnum primers without reworking data.


Wolf Small Rifle Magnum Primer ( Part # QQQSRM) - NEW

Wolf small rifle primers are now available in types.

SMALL RIFLE PRIMER (part # QQQSR) - Used as a standard small rifle primer. Perfect for the 30 carbine and 223 standard loads. Many people use this primer in bench and other loads for the 223. This primer is a copper colored primer.

SMALL RIFLE MAGNUM PRIMER (part# QQQSRM) - This is the primer we had before for use in the 5.56 loads and hot 223 loads. A thick cup for the higher pressure. We sold a lot of these primers earlier this year. The new lot is brass colored instead of nickel.

SMALL RIFLE 223 (part # QQQSR223) NEW NEW This is the newest primer available in the Wolf line. It is ever so slightly hotter than the small rifle magnum primer and it comes with a brass colored thick cup. This primer can be used in place of the SRM primer or used when a different powder is used that is hard to ignite.

Wolf primers look great. They are made in Russia and packaged in 100 rd trays in 1000 sleeves and 5000 cases. They are packed anvil up so no "primer flipping" required. They are ALL BRASS and our tests indicate excellent quality at a lower price than other primers.

Wolf Small Rifle Magnum primers have the same power as regular Wolf Small Rifle primers, but the cup is a little thicker and less sensitive.

Thanks for the heads up. There is a gun show here starting tomorrow and I was thinking about picking up some primers cheap. Although cheap for me means $35.00@1000.

I hear you Stubshaft. I went to the Belleville (Illinois) gun show last weekend(3/12) and there were a lot of venders offering primmers $38/1000.
There were a few actually selling them @ $28.00 /1000.

Go to widners shooting supply they have primers for $15.50 plus shipping and hazmat. I just ordered 30,000. Worked out to be $17.06 per thousand delivered and my 16 pounds of powder tagged along for free! If there were several guys in one location that wanted to pool togather, I can get you a good deal on winchester primers.
