Prvi Partizan (PPU headstamp)? That stuff is great and usually priced well

Wolf Gold is made in Taiwan. They have it outsourced and it is brass cased

Thanks, I'll try it out. That aluminum case stuff was crap.

Wolf makes Steel cased ammo in Ukraine

Believe it or not, I once bought a box of Wolf 9mm with aluminum casing.

Gavin

I dont believe it.

Jericho

You're correct, I just went to check the box. It's not Wolf. The aluminum

Did the Blazer give you issues?

In the first magazine I loaded, I had 2 FTFs. I've never loaded a second.

W/R/T steel, I've been told by several people that it's hard on (and could

Gavin

Factory reloads are usually fine...caliber and firearm dependent.

2/8/16 1:49pm

Ive contemplated getting into reloading, but have yet to jump. How do you start?

Depends on the manufacturer.

You don't shoot reloaded cases more than once?

I think he is saying if he is purchasing brass, it is either new or once used...
