Title: Wolf gold 223 brass
Post by: bushmasta55 on September 30, 2021, 08:31:36 PM
Aloha gang,

New to reloading and got a bunch of Wolf gold 223 bass.  Brass looks nice and it has been cleaned and resized, just need to check the brass length.  Has anyone tried reloading with this type of brass? According to some sources Wolf gold is Singapore military surplus, so in that case I'm assuming that the primer pocket must be swaged?

Mahalo in advance!

I shoot Wolf, and any other brand, for my bulk stuff. I swage all of my bulk 223 stuff. If you post a pic, we can tell if you need to swage but IME I would just swage it if you have the means to do so.

My precision 223 I do not swage but I only use BNIB brass from Lapua, LC or Winchester

Have you tried reloading federal brass 223?  I have read they are not that good for reloading.
