    So those are cupronickle bulletted cartridges then. They'll be cordite loaded too. Something I've noticed on factory rounds is they always seem to flatten the primer more than my hand loads. Must be the primer material that's softer.

    I believe Wolf is made by Prvi. I can't remember where I read that. I'd like that confirmed before taking it as fact.

    I have a stash of Prvi brass but couldn't find any more 180gr Prvi bullets. Those are very accurate in my two-groove. I had just sort of assumed Prvi brass would be easy to get in the the US too. The 180's it seems, are just not that popular. They're boat tails too but have a rather blunt soft nose. I've wondered whether the 150's would be as accurate. I suppose they can be seated to the same OAL. You know, with the powders now available and with seating way out the venerable Brit can equal the power of the modern 308 without overshooting the pressure limits of the Brit. I'm just saying - there's no logical reason to load that fast.
