Just wondering if anybody can tell me where to get berdan primers. it doesnt seem any of the usual suppliers have them.
yes i did mean in the US--- ill fix my post-- i happened upon the cushman article last nite. it does have some good info. ThanksUS suppliers you mean?
Here's one in Canada, but importing them here might make converting your Berdan cases to Boxer primers instead seem easy.
A good read:

TulAmmo used to sell them and may still. I would call them and see who their retailers are.
Tulammo usa has them on their website for 7.62-39 and 7.62-51. No telling if they really have them unless you call.
Thanks guys for the helpJust wondering if anybody can tell me where to get berdan primers in the US. it doesnt seem any of the usual suppliers have them. Thanks
Thanks fellas-- ill keep looking around. They arent worth a whole lot of effort. ill save all my berdan cases in case i can ever use them.Since all this Russian meddling in our election, I like them better than ever.
Are the primers in any of that Swiss ammo crimped in? I have the tool to deprime a berdan case and I have a small stash of primers but I'd have no clue how to remove a crimp from a berdan pocket, both because of the anvil and the diameter.It's a shame isn't it. I have 1000 of them and a pile of gp11 brass. I was hoping tula would start bringing them back in eventually.
Reloading berdan-primed cases? Well, some brass is either hard-to-get or very expensive, when you can find it. I have about 40 6.5x54MS berdan-primed brass that I reload because the boxer-primed stuff is so spendy. There's a certain loss due to the depriming tool chipping the anvil but that's just a few per batch.Just curious, but why go through the trouble? Just for grins?
