It depends on exactly what you are trying to do. Do you want to just reload the unfired cases? Then pull the bullet and dump the powder. But the case capacity and primer are unknowns so you have to start with reduced loads and work up.
If you're just starting to handload it's better to just start from scratch with new components and follow all the directions exactly. Down the road you can mess with the Wolf.
Edit: The problem with this idea is that we have no idea how much another person knows. Having experience allows us to take things for granted that another person hasn't come across yet and doesn't know.
The whole thing that makes reloading safe is knowing exactly what each component is going to do. Changing any part of a recipe could be dangerous until we test at a reduced level and see the outcome.
Reloading with Wolf introduces two unknowns: the case and the primer. Having a lot of experience many here know how to safely work up loads using these components but a novice first needs to learn how to reload safely and consistently with the exact directions from the manuals.
