Reloading Wolf cases...

[Yoosta B. Blue]

Hey Guys,

I went to the range this morning and had a great time with my shooting buddy. In the process of picking up the brass that I was interested in keeping, I picked up a bunch of pinkish-copper colored Wolf .380 brass. (I've never seen any of this stuff before today.) My first thought is that it looks like something that I can clean up and reload. Then I got to thinking that I'd better ask whether it is reloadable? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

I would check to make sure it is boxer primed before you go and break of a decaping pin on your resizer die. I would not reload if only copper washed since steel is too hard and may damage your dies.

I wouldn't risk it. Wolf is generally a non reloadable shell, that is why it is cheaper. Kinda like the Blazer aluminum.

Thanks for the replies, folks. After doing more research on these Wolf casings, I see that reloading them is a no-no. So it's off to the trash bin they go. :barf:

Send them to the recycling yard. No sense trashing steel that could be used for other things.
