If they are steel, they are not reloadable. I assume your talking the polymer coated steel cased wolf.

I think wolf Gold is the only wolf ammo that is reloadable.

Sure, they're worth reloading. If you have steel cases with Berdan primers, reloading will be a bit more difficult than if you have brass cases with Boxer primers.

I reload Wolf .45 ACP cases. They're steel, but have Boxer primers, which makes reloading easier. And, since they are made of steel, I regard them as being a little more suited for use with +P loads. I use a carbide siszing die with them, but you can't get carbide dies for bottlneck cases, so you may find that a resizing die will wear quicker if used to size steel cases. But these are MILD steel cases, much softer than your resizing die.....

Many people think that just because a case has Berdan priming that it is not reloadable. This is B.S. of the worst sort.

Toss them in the trash after firing. They are steel cases...not brass. And they are berdan primed which is way more trouble than it's worth. All you'll do is wear out some good loading dies and real brass cases aren't that hard to come by for 90% of the cartridges.
