My local gun shop just started carrying Wolf. I noticed there's two different kinds. One is called Military classic, 55gr FMJ,steel cased,Berdan primed. The other I've seen before, 55gr,HP,steel cased,boxed primed. The were priced the same. I asked about the differences in the way they were primed, but nobody there knew. Can someone explain the difference to me??

if you search the internet for it, you will find out that the military classic has the new style russian bullet. i forget what its called but i guess it has better penetration and better fragmentation propierties compared to the black box wolf.

Boxer primed is the more modern type of priming and could be reloaded but DO NOT reload STEEL cased ammo. Berdan primed is the older type and used more in other countries (not reloadable).

I shoot wolf in my AR s no problem but like he said DO NOT reload STEEL cased ammo

Berdan primed is too reloadable, you just have to know how to go about it...

I was always told that you could not reload steel case as well. But there is someone here on the forum that claims he does it. I just forget who. More power to you if you can.

just for the record, berdan primed isn't always steel case

I'll +1 on not reloading steel cased ammo though...but you can reload berdan primed brass cases...

Its been said that you CAN reload the Wolf cases.
