Thread: Anybody here successfully priming BERDAN for 303 British and / or 7.62 ?

Yup, I know plenty on Youtube on de-priming. That's not the problem.

Even some on converting Brass Berdan cases to Brass Boxer.......That's not the problem either as I don't want to go there.


I have a Berdan supplier, dies and press but the problem is getting the replacement Berdan primer in, because as neither of my 303 or 7.62 y cases Berdan primer pockets match the measurements any of the 4 primers conventionally used, the dies etc don't help with "priming".

As I have a sh** load of 303 British and 7.62 Berdan primed brass and consider one bang then throw away a waste, I seek a solution for this final problem ( I hope) of reloading Berdan.



Any assistance would be appreciated.
