The Wolf SR Primers have done well in all the rifles I've used them in, save one.The Savage .223 ,12BV SS-s will puch holes in them frequently. This has not happened with any other primer and probably could be corrected by reshaping the end of the fireing pin and or weekening the bolt spring. roger

As mentioned, the Magnum version works quite well in the AR15. I was skeptical at first, but fellow XC match shooter suggested I try them and no problem, plus they are available at a reasonable cost.

Wolf makes 3 SR primers, std., mag., and what they refer to as 223 primers. The "223 primers" are designed to be used in AR's, (harder cup), right? How do they work/are they suitable in non AR applications.

Use them in Rem. 700 bolt gun and they work fine. Rifle is 26" Krieger barrel, 1 in 8 twist for 69-80gr., RE15 powder, LC brass, bullets seated to 3-.005" from lands and grooves. I have a good quantity of non-Russian primers, but saving those and for the cost, thought I would use them and well pleased.
