I have modified a Lee chamfer tool also to remove primer crimps. Where do you source your Berdan primers? I have a good supply in stock that I have got from various places, but always looking for more. I noticed a lot of 7000 RWS 5620 Berdan primers at the June timed auction at Southams. The bid price was £55 the last time I looked. If I lived nearer I would have bid for those. I don't know what they went for as I can't remember the lot number and the auction results page just gives lot number and price, no details of what the lot consisted of. Perhaps I should have bid on them and had a day out to Bedford to pick them up. They would probably have seen me out.
Regards
Peter.

I was lucky enough to pick up 1650 from a club member who was giving up shooting and so far, they are the only ones I have come across.
As I have a ton of .308 boxer brass, it's not something I have actively sourced up till now.
