Thread: What do ppl think of murom primers (that reloaders are selling)?

Seems I have the choice of

federal 210
CCI
Murom

I have some 210, so was contemplating some others....

Unless someone knows of others? BR2 seems well thought of but I cant find any.

I purchased and used 15K of them in small rifle a few years ago. Used them loading for my .38SC pistol.
$28 Per thousand at the time

In the complete absence of any Federal SR, I got some Murom SR primers off Dave the other day, but I haven't tried them yet. He said something about them being bit hard for some guns. I'm not expecting any issues in an AR with it's free-floating firing pin.

I bought a 1000 small and large, havn't had a problem yet. Good value .

Never heard of them. Looking forward to hearing for more folks that have.

At the price they have CCI/Fed , you are saving about $15 per thousand aprox , I would use the US made ones , you are only looking at these due to low stocks of US primers , I used some of the Russian primers yrs ago that a mate gave me , I loaded them into a std 308 load I use , 175gr SMK bullet on top of 45gr of 2208 , and the primers looked like they could not handle the pressure , they where flattened totally .
As a result of that testing ( 5rds ) , I did not load any more ammo with the russian primers .
In short you will probablily get mixed veiws on wether these are any good , to me in rifles , not worth the risk .
In pistols , at lower pressure they maybe OK .

Later Chris

I have recently struck problems with Russian large rifle primers that I have been using for some years. They seem to be blowing pin-holes near the outer edge, gas is etching bolt-face. Also had hang-fires from the magnum variety in a friend's 270WSM, no such problem with American primers. Won't be buying any more.

Anyone sell wolf primers? They're meant to be the shit

Have asked before and I dont think anyone does in NZ

I thought the murom primers are now what used to be called wolf?

Murom are sold as Wolf in the US. They're Russian and are sold under a number of names TulAmmo, Wolf, PMC, Murom.

I had read somewhere that they used to make primers for PMC but did not want to say anything incase I was wrong and I used to use nothing but of PMC primers after having FTF's with CCI and winchester primers and got some really good loads from them.

I use them in 38 special no problems here

Turns out they are Wolf/Tula primers. Meant to be the most consistent you can get.

Yeap , having a primer blow and gas cut your bolt face , can put you OFF using the offending primer anymore ( in rifles anyway ) , its not nice having a new Sako or a TC de-faced by a substandard primer while using std load from the ADI manual , been there done that , did not like it .
