    Default IS IT WORTH RELOADING "WOLF STEEL CASES"

    Ive just bought 1000rds of that foul smelling "wolf ammo" in 233. ....Now is it worth keeping the cases to reload them.....any comments on it????

    It's not wise to reload steel........Only brass........ At least from what I understand..

    Good luck trying, first off they have berdan primers which make reloading a major pain, secondly the steel beats the hell out of dies. From what I have seen you can and will be breaking dies constantly.... definitely not worth the time and effort.

    Why not just buy a case of brass cased 223 and then reload them.
