Anybody else having problems with Wolf Gold?

I got a couple boxes of Wolf Gold .380 JHP & while they worked fine through my Sig P230, the wife's Walther PK380 didn't like 'em at all.

Had the odd jam with the Walther, which I totally get, based on bullet shape (no probs with Magtech FMJ). But... roughly 2 out of 10 rounds failed to fire. Most showed light primer strikes, but some showed none.

Ran the duds back through again, with no luck. I know Wolf primers can be hard. Could it be the Walther & the hard Wolf primers just don't get along? Maybe just some out & out duds?

Just wondering if anyone else had had this problem.

If they fired fine in your P230 it sound more like firing pin or headspace problem, the walter might have headspace on high limit while ammo can be manufactured at the minimum and you get light strikes ... especially if other ammo brands working fine.
