NOTES: Wind was gusting moving and knocking over targets.

Almost all Wolf primers showed cratering except the BLUE Dot, attributable to softer cups but mostly the rifle.

The difference in results between primer types was non detectable. A better shooter would have gotten better repeatability.

The Wolf primers had a good feel when pressed into the cases; not Whimpy.

IN CONCLUSION I would give this primer all 10s and at less than $18.00/K that ain't all bad. roger

Temperature went over 100 degrees

Russian?

Probably Chinese sold to the Bosnians to be marketed by the Russians. Mox nixs anymore, right? How many quality products are still made in this country?

Kinda like believing the Ford 250 is made with American parts. No longer in what is left in my life time. Sorry if it breaks anyone's bubble.

The last five automated production lines I helped design and build were proffed and than sent to Malaysia, China, and Mexico.

You may not like shopping at WAL Mart but the made in tags are not going to get any better soon. Bad Day at Black Rock., roger

Then marked "Made in Russia", I presume.
