Wolf 223 ammo in a bolt action rifle?

I tried some Wolf ammo in my NEF single shot rifle and they would not fire. The firing pin was hitting the primer, but not hard enough to ignite the round. It was not the rifle, as I tried Federal and Remington ammo and the rifle worked fine.
Has anyone used Wolf ammo in a Remington, Savage or Ruger bolt action rifle?
Thanks

The primers in the Wolf ammo are to hard ( military spec )for the firing pin assembly in the NEF rifle to set off consistantly. One person posted on here awhile back about the same problem with his. He said he talked to the people at NEF and they confirmed the Wolf ammo doesn't work well in their gun [:(].
The primers are harder to prevent slam fires in semi-auto military type weapons ( ie: SKS, AKs and AR15 types, etc. ).
