Tulammo primers

[reomack]

These Russian made primers are usually priced lower than competitive brands. Has anyone here used them? If so what opinions, facts, whatever, do you have with regard to their reliability and performance. I don't want to save money at the expense of more important things.

They are sold under the Dominion brand by Canadammo.com. They work fine.

Thank you.

I have used 20,000 of them in rifle and pistol flavours. They worked fine.

They are harder to ignite than some other brands. I would not suggest them for revolvers set to light hammer spring tension.

I've shot several thousand of both Wolf and Tulammo pistol primers and found them to be completely reliable. They seem to be about the same as Winchester in performance, not as soft as Federal but not as hard as CCI. I used them quite a bit in a lightened up Model 14 S&W and can't recall ever having a fail to detonate. They may not be completely reliable in very light action revolvers but I think for anything else you're good to go. My friends and I have ordered over 140,000 of the Dominion (Russian) primers and have only had a very few (less than 10) faulty ones. I would not hesitate to recommend them, especially considering the price savings over North American made.

All good information. Thanks to those who responded. Good to save money and have great results at the same time. Kind of why I got into reloading (and casting) in the first place.
