Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

55gr. psp, Win., WW cases, Wolf Primers, 22.9gr., DP73, DEAD ON AT 400yds.

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

This 5 shot group was fired with Wolf Small Rifle primers in an M700 in 6.8 SPC.

I fired it with those crappy, good for nothing
Nosler Solid Base 130 grain "seconds".

I happen to like those crap bullets too (in .277 though). I think I’ll pickup a tray of Wolff primers today and give them a shot.
