A: Thanks for reaching out Bailey! In a word, no. Steel cases don't return to their original dimensions following ignition, and Berdan primers make reloading practically impossible for multiple reasons. Steel cases technically can be reloaded if you have special equipment and the patience of a saint, but I'd only recommend trying during a literal apocalypse. You want Boxer-primed brass-cased ammo for reloading purposes!

A: This bullet has a lead core. Its bimetal jacket, however, is nearly 100% steel.

A: Thanks for reaching out! You are thinking of the 5.56x45 M855 bullet, the jacket of which conceals a solid steel tip. This round's bullet has a bimetal jacket, which is made of steel with a thin copper washed exterior. In other words, no part of this bullet won't react to a magnet!

A: No sir. That's really only a concern when it comes to military surplus ammo, much of which is indeed Berdan primed and from Russia. This ammo was recently manufactured for the commercial market, so it only requires normal cleaning after firing.

A: Yes sir, a 5.56x45 rifle can also fire 223 Rem. We just advise not doing it the other way around!

A: Hi Connor. The Wolf ammo is loaded using steel casings with berdan primers. All steel case Wolf ammo is polymer coated for clean firing with the sole exception of the white box surplus ammo.
