Not finding your case prep challenging enough? Then these tools are just what you need to while away the long winter nights converting your berdan brass to boxer. Now where did I put that sack of GP11 cases?
On second thoughts life is too short.

Re: Convert steel/brass berdan cases to boxer.
It is a well thought out conversion process however I would be inclined to take a lot of care of that rotating end mill, I have cut myself on the things when they are stationary, let alone rotating.

Brass will have to get VERY expensive before I could be bothered with that!

Re: Convert steel/brass berdan cases to boxer.
But to be fair how much would you save in brass?, I can get steel cases by the sackful for nothing so I'd consider it for a bit of effort modifying the primer pocket if 54r milsurp ever started to dry up.redcat wrote:Brass will have to get VERY expensive before I could be bothered with that!

Reloading Berdan is too easy to bother doing the conversion!

The Russian TULA armoury makes them as do RWS, I believe, but they have no cash advantage except in cheap/free brass

Re: Convert steel/brass berdan cases to boxer.
A few years ago I got given about 1000 fired Berdan primed Belgian FN blank and I noticed the primer they used was very close to the standard boxer primer size. I decapped them one hot summer evening with a mates wamadet hydraulic decapper (great way to cool off) and cut them down below the crimp. I flattened the anvil with a punch and a bolt then cut out the anvil and bored a flash hole with a drill press. I them primed as normal and loaded them as blanks.
