Winchester steel cased pistol rounds

[Irving]

Is anyone reloading the new steel cased stuff from Winchester? I've got a few laying around and thought I might give it a try, but wanted to ask around first.

I wouldn't dream of it, but I've read several others say they reload steel cases just fine. Seems like sacrilege to me.

My dad has reloaded plenty of steel cased ammo in the 223 variety.

No special dies required? Are people lubricating the cases or anything?

Standard or carbide (my preference) moderate tumbling in corn media, lube and load. You may have to do a slight chamfer for the primer.
FWIW: ANY boxer primed steel case is reloadable. The 223 requires no trimming. However it's always beneficial to check everything when reloading.

Requires no trimming? They don't stretch in the chamber or when resized?
If that's the case I'll quit throwing away steel cases I find.

Always check as with any item you reload. The wolf 223 stays consistent.

I thought the steel cased stuff was for people with bad backs who don't want to pick up their brass? Why would anyone want to reload it?

How do you keep the loaded cases from rusting. Other then shooting them
