Wolf Primers

[StraightPipes]

This topic may have been addressed recently, and I may have missed it. If I missed it, pardon me.

Some months ago, there was an issue with Wolf Primers "not being plated". They were coming through in a bare copper cup. Is this still happening? I ask because I am into my last 1K of the old primers and need to order.
If Im correct, were there any problems with these primers? I see another source for "TulAmmo" primers. Are these plated or do they have bare copper cups also?

I'm interested in hearing as well, Powder Valley is claiming the Tula primers are the same as Wolf just cheaper but I've also heard Wolf aren't made in Tula where the Tula ones are. Until I get some confirmation on the Tulas I'm holding off.

Got some Wolf primers from Powder Valley 2 months ago, and they were all plated.

Just received 10,000 Tulammo SRM primers and they are in the same packaging as the last Wolf Russian SRM primers I bought, so they must be from the same factory...I dont see any difference in them.
When the weather clears I'll crono a few of my rifles with these primers and see what that amounts to..

Great news! I've been wondering about them.

Thanks a lot, Preacher!

All my Powder Valley Wolf primers from about 2 months ago were plated also. I hope the Tulammo primers turn out to be identical!

I read this thread,never used any so decided to look for some,stopped by sporting goods store. They had both brands in small pistol only ??? without asking the question the guy told me they were the same thing,the more expensive one's on the left (Wolf) and the cheaper ones on the right (TulAmmo) He said they were the same, made in the same plant. For what thats worth?
