Default Tula Primers

Anyone have any experience---good or bad---with Tula primers ?

Where are they made--any input appreciated.

I have loaded lots of 38spl, 357mag, 44spl, and 44mag using Tula large and small pistol primers with no problems at all. I DO have a friend that had problems with the small rifle mag primers being a little oversized in diameter and they would not press into his new brass.
I continue to buy Tula for all my reloading.
Peace

Ditto and Ditto.

Although I have had a few fail to fire in spp but this is range ammo and one or two out of thousands doesn't concern me.
I have had some American brands fail also. Just law of averages, bound to happen.

Default Thanks Everyone

Good to know--who is Wideners. Just got an e-mail from Natchez and they were $17.99/1000 so I thought I'd ask.

One of the things I like about Wideners is you can specify if you want whats instock shipped now and out of stock items as they come in or all or nothing shipped. When ordering Primers and Powder this can save you a bunch of money with the HazMat fee and the shipping charges. I used this feature during the primer shortage along with selective ordering ( ordering only one brand on an order)
