Tula and Wolf Ammo Issues

[TCummings]

OK so apparently there has been an issue with Wolf and Tula Ammo from what I am being told by the tech at I.O. Inc, he said that the primers being used have thin walls and are letting the firing pins punch through them which would then create the issue that I have had with their Hellhound AK. However I would like to call BS on this mainly because I am using the exact same ammo in my AMD-65 and have not had a single issue with the firing pin blowing out the back.

Does anyone have any input on this?

Sounds like boo stuff to me.

I haven't seen any reports of problems with Tula or Wolf in any caliber on any of the other shooting forums I read.

There have been problems in the past. Here's a nice long thread from the SKS forum that discusses some of 'em:

The kicker is I reload so I know if I experience an issue one of the first things I do is check the case from the round I fired last, I checked them all and not a single one had a pierced primer, no mushroomed primers, absolutely no signs of over pressure. I am sending the rifle back for the 3rd time, maybe they will figure something out this time.

Yea I have the feeling IO doesn't want to admit that they made a crap product, I am just confused that if the ammo isn't good for their rifle, shouldn't it not be good for the AMD and shouldnt the AMD be having the same issue? I would think so but apparently I is dumb or something.
