Any body try Wolf or Magtech Primers?

Has anyone tried Wold or Magtech brand primers? I would them for small pistol and small rifle mostly. Any good or bad experiences?

I have stocked up on them for use in my .357. I have used some and they seem to work just fine. Magtechs, not Wolf.

A while back I bought a case (5000) magtech small pistol primers, no problems with them, they worked great.

Greetings,

I am using Wolf since a little while and never got any problem. I use the small and large in normal and magnum. They are the cheapest and they do the job nicely.

Thank you

I have never used Wolf primers, but I have used Magtech. No issues with the Magtech primers, and at the time when I used them they were pretty cheap IIRC.

Just bought 1000

I just bought 1000 Magtech SPP's tonight for $18.99. I figured with the good reviews, I'd give them a try. CCI's were $29 per 1000.

I sell both brands in my gun shop and my customers have had no complaints. I use the Magtech large rifle and small pistol primers and have been satisfied with them in all aspects.

eagle... do they seem to be a bit easier to get at the wholesale level than the others? Seems all the local shows can't keep the regulars in stock. Would it be correct to assume the WOLF are imported and our military contracts are not a draw on them?

I've used Wolf pistol primers, both small and large. No problems with them at all. Wish I had bought 10000 instead of just 2000.

Wolf Primers are a great value!

I have used about 2000 of the Wolf primers. They are second, only to Federal, in being the most reliable primers for my revolvers. I only load .45 ACP and only use large pistol primers.

If I could find Federals I would buy them; if not, I will buy Wolf.
