Can Wolf .223 boxer primed polyformance ammo be reloaded? Any concerns about this ammo through a Ruger Mini-14?

The general consensus will be no. Steel does not have the same springback as does brass, which the dies were made for. Steel will not last as long as brass I believe due to that reason.
That being said, I have loaded it before for use in an AR-15 and an FN-FNC(auto) with no problems. I started loosing casings around the 4th loading due to split necks.

If I were to load any more, it would be to load once fired casings and put them back for either a really bad day or when I couldn't find any brass to use. I still have a bunch put back that I loaded last summer and have nothing to shoot them in now. :( Make sure the steel is completely dry and shows no signs of rust or don't use them.
