    I know im using way too much.

    The lube makes em pop in and out of the dies like shit from a ducks ass

    5 grains of trail boss. Comes right to the bottom of the bullet


    Seated, crimped. Might need to be wiped a little but for the glock prolly not



    The jacketed are extreme 200 gr
    The lead are some pulls.

    How are these primed? Did you use your press or did you have to Hydro pop the primers?

    How did you prime the cases? Were they Boxer primed? All of the steel cases I see are Berdan primed?

    The boxer primed steel has one flash hole, just like regular brass. Berdan primed has 2 flash holes.
    With the lee dies, if a berdan slips through, theres a safety that releases the decapping pin and prevents it from breaking.

    Most steel case I've loaded , .45 and .223 I find they size/trim much easier than most brass. Only thing I've found is the wolf tends to have slightly thicker case walls around the shoulder.



    I think I have some .45 that's been loaded 4 times now with Zero issues, and Im about 2 times on some of the .223.

    Almost 50 years ago, I was given a case of U.S. military .45 with steel cases. Being a broke student at the time, I had no choice but to reloads them. It was a pain in the ass, no question, but they worked very well, and I reloaded those cases twice. I slao used steel dies, since I couldn't afford a carbide sizer at that time.

    Where there's a will, there's a way. Sometimes ya just gotta "adapt, improvise and overcome."

    Never seen powder like that before. Looks like Lifesavers.

    Its engineered to be fluffy and fill the case to prevent double charges. Low pressure too, but not safe to be compressed
