Wolf Large Rifle Primers

[Tcon260]

My preferred small rifle primer for 6BRX has always been Wolf SR Magnum…somewhere down the line I understood the cup was a bit harder. CCI BR4 is the second choice.

Are the Wolf LR primers ok (not magnum). Want use them in a 260. Or do I need Wolf LR magnum?

I would use the LRM for the same reason as the SRM.
The magnum primers withstand pressure better.
Unless they've changed, the flame is the same for both flavors.

i have used lrm tula from day one in my 300 win mag pushing a 208 amax to 2950 fps from a 30" bbl from day one.
i believe tula and wolf are the same primers..they come from the same factory.

Stool,

The Tula you are using are LR magnum?

The question is whether Wolf Or Tula LR (not Magnum) are hard enough to use in a 260...

Yes they are good enough to use as I have with no problems yet.

I just picked up 8 k of the wolf LR primers base on info I read here, will be trying them out Sunday, well only a couple hundred of them. I could not find the Magnum.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE AREA OF 30'06 AND 308 WIN pressure..it should be just fine....
yep i missed the lr question...saw the srm statement first.

I have had excellent results with Wolf LR primers in everything I have tried them in. All have been used with normal pressure 308, 30X47, 30-30AI and a few more calibers. Just pay attention to seating them. They have an anvil that sticks up a bit more than most primers and the cup seems to be a little harder also. You will learn by feel how to seat them. When you feel like they have bottomed out in the pocket at first you need to put a little more pressure to them. The anvil hits first then you need to add more pressure to fully seat the cup to the bottom and that will compress the anvil against the priming compound and allow it to go bang when the firing pin strikes. If you have fail to fire problems most likely you have not seated the primer fully.

They work awesome. I use exclusively in my 22-250 and 308 win using lapua brass and Varget powder. Worked better than br2's and fed 210's for me.
