There were no pierced Wolf primers as there were in two of my Savage made rifles. The Savage rifles in question have pierced other manufacturor's primers both commercially loaded and hand loaded. This is mentioned so as not to mislead your thinking of the Wolf primers as previously posted. In the CZ .222 the Wolf primers seem to do a great job. roger
