Specifically Wolf shotshell primers.
I've been seeing some Wolf 209 shotshell primers turning up at local shops at fairly decent prices. I may have to try some when my current stock of Nobel Sports run dry.
I was wondering though, is the Wolf a direct substitute for another 209 in trap type recipes? For instance, when I started loading 12ga years ago, I started with Winchester 209s. Later on the price of the Winnies kept going up and availablity even became spotty for a while. Through some research and talking to guys at a couple of trap ranges, I learned the cheaper, readily available (at least around here) Nobel Sport 209 could be safely substituted in any recipe tha tcalled for a Win 209.
Anyone used the Wolfs in 12ga trap loads? I use STS hulls, Fig 8 clone wad, 1oz of lead shot and Promo powder.
Thanks
