What's yalls opinion and or experience with TulAmmo Small Rifle Primers? A friend gave me 1k and I know nothing about them.
Tula made two SR primers. Regular Tula SR primer I have is reddish/copper colored and Tula .223 primer is brass colored (perhaps with harder cup to prevent slam fire?).What's yalls opinion and or experience with TulAmmo Small Rifle Primers? A friend gave me 1k and I know nothing about them.
It’s been discussed extensively but 6 to 8 years ago. I’m definitely looking for more recent info.you might want to do a search on this subject as we probably have discussed this before.

Nice. Good info. I haven’t even opened them yet and they aren’t marked well so I’ll definitely pay attention. Thank you for your input.Welcome to THR.

Be sure to seat them below flush (.004" to .008") to prevent slam fires.
Both primer types have gone bang for me. Since you got them for free, I say load them up and shoot 'em (Note Glock striker indents on primer cups, picture from 9mm Major aspiration days where SR primers are used instead of SP primers)
By around 2011-13, particular lots of Tula SP primers were known to have harder cups which failed to consistently ignite and many buyers of Tula SP primers were left holding the bag swearing never to buy Tula SP primers again (AFAIK, other Tula primers like LP primers were not affected).It’s been discussed extensively but 6 to 8 years ago.

SMALL RIFLE PRIMER (part # QQQSR) - Used as a standard small rifle primer. Perfect for the 30 carbine and 223 standard loads. Many people use this primer in bench and other loads for the 223. This primer is a copper colored primer.
SMALL RIFLE MAGNUM PRIMER (part# QQQSRM) - This is the primer we had before for use in the 5.56 loads and hot 223 loads. A thick cup for the higher pressure. We sold a lot of these primers earlier this year. The new lot is brass colored instead of nickel.
SMALL RIFLE 223 (part # QQQSR223) NEW This is the newest primer available in the Wolf line. It is ever so slightly hotter than the small rifle magnum primer and it comes with a brass colored thick cup. This primer can be used in place of the SRM primer or used when a different powder is used that is hard to ignite.
Tula primers......were about the most consistent primer I ever used.
I copied and saved this from Wideners many years ago about the Wolf primers. I bought a bunch of the QQQSRM primers at $14 per K.
Yes, before Stan sold the company is was great.The were the best folks to order from
