Wolf primers are "Notorious" for going bang. They are some of the best small rifle primers out there. Those who say different are uninformed.

Wolf Primers

I too had questions about wolf primers a couple of years ago but there was $5 or so difference per 1000 so I tried some and had good results, then stocked up BO. (Before Obama)

I bought from Powder Valley. They've been good to deal with on powder and bullets too.

They are cheap. If I found them for the super cheap, I'd use them on the range. Wouldn't trust them for competition. If it's a matter of a few bucks per k, I say go with American made.

What kinda press are you using?

It's weird that they didn't want any batch info. I would try it again and pay more attention to the seating depth. If the problem persists, call 'em back and really give them an ear full.
