Wolf Reloadable!!!
Sat, 10/09/2004, 00:01Looks like Wolf (cheapass steel-cased Russian ammo) is reloadable..
...or at least some of it is. This is 55gr M196 tracer loaded up in a Wolf steel casing. I've found it's a little harder to size, but it's hardly concerning. Doesn't appear to contribute to die wear abnormally, as well. It's confusing how it varies, but preliminary examinations of "brass" have indicated the following primings:
9mm - Berdan
40 S&W - Boxer
45 ACP - Boxer
5.56mm - Boxer
7.62x39 - Berdan
7.62x54R - Berdan
I've noticed a lot of places immediately say all Wolf is Berdan, but it's not true. I suspect it's because of the inconsistency of priming technologies. Something about when people "assume" comes to mind..
I still need to get ahold of some of the 7.62x51 NATO, but that stuff's as rare as hen's teeth. I also need something that fires it. Grr.
