Wolf Magnum Primers/22-250

[chuckw2]

Guys,
I shot some Wolf Mag Primers behind 34.1 grains of Varget and a 55 grain Sierra SBK in a 22-250 today... The primers were very hard to seat, lets say 40% more force than a BR-2. They shot great, my question is am I going to blow out primer pockets prematurely with these primers?
Thanks ,
Chuck

The cups on the Wolf primers are just harder and maybe flowered a little that is the reason that they seat hard. I shoot them in my AR 223 and I have not seen any case life problems. The are really consistent primers and make very accurate ammo.

No, you wont hurt the primer pockets with the primer. Now if you are over pressure with your particular load, then sure, but not simply due to using Wolf primers.
