wolf 9mm ftf in several handguns this weekend!?

[SmileDocHill]

I've used Wolf .223/5.56 a LOT and have had flawless performance to say the least. I bought some Wolf steel 9mm and used it for the first time this weekend at a Boy Scout outing where the adults could shoot whatever we brought after the kids are done.
Short version: 2 of my handguns that have never found an ammo they didn't like and 2 handguns that belong to others with same history had several ftf's. The primer would get a dimple but no bang!
Is this common? Are they known to be harder primers? My guns were both M&P's one pro and one regular full size with full Apex trigger and sear kit replaced. The other gun was an awesome IWI all metal (something, I can't remember) and the 4th...again I can't remember (I was busy being the RO/instructor with a lot of new to guns dads, I was preoccupied.)

I used to shoot Wolf a lot a few years ago. Yea, they can have hard primers. I shot it in a M&P with the full Apex kit and would every now and then encounter one that would not go off on the first pull but would go if I reloaded it and tried again.

I've used Wolf primers to reload 9mm a few years ago when I couldn't find anything else, I've never had so many FTF. I was having FTF in multipule handguns.

I've never had issues with the FIRING of Wolf in my "normal" guns. Extracting the fired cases from a dirty chamber...yes. But not firing.

Higher-end guns with tighter tolerances didn't often like feeding the steel, however.

Yes, very hard primers.

OK, so I'm not the only one. Good to know.

I just went through 4,000 Wolf Primers last year and no troubles but I bought these about 3 years ago. It sounds like some of the latest batch got some duds.
