What happened to Tula and Wolf primers?

[Justin]

Are Tula and Wolf small rifle primers no longer a thing? I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.

I think they had a few problems with the early ones. They did a good job with taking care of the issue if I remember correct. Then they clearanced them out real cheap, I bought a few. My guess is after the shortage, the demand went way down. I never had one not go bang. However, they don't seat as nice as US made primers. I only use them for plinking.

How early is this account? I've never heard of an actual user having any problems. David Tubb bought like half a million for his own use.

I've found they have the lowest SD out of anything I've used.

Reliability, so long as you're not shooting a 223-specific hard primer in a pistol, is as good as anything (ask me how I know... I don't even consciously tap-rack-bang anymore)

Also, guess I just learned Widener's doesn't sell powder or primers anymore.. wow.
Also, internet says Wolf primers are discontinued.. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/thr...imers.3933402/
Also, just called Wolf and they confirmed they don't offer the primers anymore. Humbug.

Should have clarified I was looking for small rifle primers.

Call Natchez. Wolf is Tula. The IIRC KVD? prefix was / is used for both. If you search, the SRP's are available. I still have a few K of the SRP's

Not sure on the time frame. I read it when I was researching whether or not I wanted a lot of them. And I'n not even sure it wasn't caused by user error. I've had not one problem with them. Though some go in TIGHT. Like they are a tiny bit over sized, or not exactly the right shape. The internet said Obama said NO , they're from Russia.

I have had good experience with Tula/Wolf primers. Bought many of them from PVI and some here on the board.

My understanding is they became unimportable along with all of those cheap 7N6 5.45 crates after Russia decided to repossess large portions of the Ukraine. Most of Russia's repo men are dressed and act just like the Russian Armed Forces. Good thing they waited till the Winter Games were over in Sochi.

I still have some Wolf Primers. Never had an issue with them, actually prefer them to some of the mainstays.

7n6 become banned because of the pistol sbr work around. It's illegal to import armor piercing ammo for pistols
