I would like to buy some Wolf Large Rifle Magnum Primers. Do you have any cases of these? David

To whom it may concern or help,
I reload 9mm ammunition that i shoot in a Springfield xd and a Beretta PX4 STORM. I recently purchased a ton of magnum primers and was a lil scared about using them. I’m like the rest of te reloading industry trying to find small pistol primers. Because I couldn’t find the regulars i bought 10,000 Wolf magnum primers instead. I tried and tried to research this but there just isn’t any printed info on using magnum primers in 9mm applications. anyone in the same situation. I talked to numerous people who have been reloading for years if not decades. What I found out from them was to NOT use Maximum powder charges and to start at minnium and work up or reduce your charge by 10 %> I havent been able to do more than 1 but here are the exacts of what I used and they worked perfectly together. ONCE FIRED BRASS, WOLF MAGNUM PRIMERS AND 3.8 GRAINS OF WINCHESTER 231 WITH A 124GRAIN PLATED HOLLOW POINT.

I found them to fire very good and no damage to primers or cases,
Good Luck,

Sincerely,
Mike G.

Hello,

My name is Mike and I recently purchased 10,000 of your small magnum pistol primers. I am new into reloading and I have been told that Wolf is a GREAT BRAND and that your magnum pistol primers work great for reloading with. A good friend and fellow reloader and Wolf user told me that you were AWESOME IN HELPING THE NEW RELOADER GET EDUCATED WITH YOUR PRODUCTS. I have a 9mm beretta px4 storm and 2 9mm springfield sub compact xds, a rossi 38 special and a .40 springfield xdm. The 9mms will be by far the most used. I was wondering if you had any ballistic information on using the magnum primers for these applications. I have 4 different primers to use including AA#7, Bullseye, TiteGroup, and 231. A friend told me to try to stay away from the faster burning powders. I was also told that generally the magnum primers burn about 20% hotter than the regular small pistol primers, so I should start with using the suggested starting grains of each powder and work up from there. Is this true What would you recommend. I just want to be safe and use them properly. Any information you could give me would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you,
Mike Geske

Does anybody know if the same relationship holds true for their LARGE Rifle primers? i.e., same amount of primer compound in the regular and magnum versions, just a harder cup on the magnum primers?

I sent an email to Wolf customer service asking this a couple weeks ago, but never got a reply.

Which would be better for 6XC? Regular or Magnum?

Thanks,

Lefty.
