grendelnubi Wrote:I can tell you this regarding wolf neck tension. It is horribly inconsistent. Some projectiles will pull easily but most do not. Some of this could be due to age however. I use an RCBS puller and there has been several that I have had to use pliers.
I'm useing the hornady bullet puller. Works good, some are easy and some seem like they are welded to the case lol. But I got nearly 700 pulled since friday night.
Now just to find time to go and test them.

It's a mind-mender for me; but yet, it's quite repeatable. I get this again and again. I won't say 100% of the time, but very often. In order to actually do that, the lots of Wolf Steel I have have to have remarkably consistent bullet weight, powder charge, and and I guess I would assume neck tension.
The fact that others report such remarkable accuracy with their Mexican Match loads upon the wolf Steel round (which isn't derogatory btw; as a people - we seem a bit overrun with projections of inferiority complex' these days); which is only likely if the gunpowder charges are quite uniform as well.
