Needing some advice/direction. I've got a pretty good supply of the Wolf steel case 100 gr ammo. I'm wanting to pull the bullets and replace them with 90 grain TNT's for hog hunting. I plan to just swap out the bullets and reuse the powder and primers of the steel case stuff. I vaguely remember seeing this done somewhere. Has anyone on here done this? Any major obstacles or problems? Appreciate any help you can provide.
Swapping bullets in Wolf steel cases

There are two or three threads on this forum under the title "Moscow Match". If you have more time than money, (or in 2020 you're just low on primers) this is a good option. You'll need a good collett bullet puller. Since the Wolf bullets are undersized at .262, the case mouths will shave the jacket of a .264 bullet is you're doing a true pull/push (pull one bullet and push in another). Many of us chamfered the mouth before pushing in the new bullet. I went so far as to dump powder and do a complete load work up with the 90 TNTs. Read up and have fun. https://www.65grendel.com/forum/sear...archid=3424969

I did it with some 100 grain net's.
I pulled them dumped and measured the powder to find a nice solid average weight, used my sizing die too rework the case neck, chamfered then recharged at the average and seated the bullets.
Worked well but in the end was more of a pain in the but then was worth it. I just started useing my brass catcher while I was hunting and keep from loseing my brass.

How does the catcher affix to rifle... metal clip, velcro or picatinny rail mount?
