277 wolverine seems like a very good reloaders cartridge. Even if there was another scare it likely wouldn't affect these components.
At this point it is strictly a wildcat although a couple of companies are selling "factory" ammo made on reformed 223 brass.
Making Wolverine brass is pretty much the exact same process as making 300BLK. Chop the 223 case off at the shoulder and then size. Finish trim and load.
Rocky Mountain Reloading has the Nosler 115gr BTHP for fairly cheap as well as some 150gr Federal Fusion bullets. Both would probably be a good choice for bulk reloading. The 115gr should be a good choice for general range work while the 150gr apparently works well for subsonic stuff.
In looking at available .277 bullets it seems the 100gr or 110gr Nosler Accubond or the 90gr Nosler Bonded should work well. These bullets should retain enough velocity from a 12.5in barrel to expand at 200-250 yards.
Mad Dog Weapons has just posted on his Facebook page that his company is now a junior member of SAAMI. I can only assume that this means the 277 is on the path for industry approval.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
