Priming Berdan rifle brass with shotgun primers

[kjohn]

Edited my last post to say "necessity hasn't entered the room - yet.

You're going to have to be very careful with pressures, because slightly after minimum specs, the new primer pockets will start "leaking" hot gasses against your bolt face.



Be careful.

This would be my main concern with this project, IMHO not worth it.

I have a thread on converting berdan primed brass/steel to boxer. After they’re done my way they can use standard large rifle.

This can be done for most of the large .250/.254 primers. The smaller .217 pockets need a thinner sleeve.

Budget Shooters has them.

Can't see them. Link?

I don't see them anymore on the site. The last batch I bought came from Henry. The new fellow seems to have run out?

GunEx out of Calgary shows up as a legitimate dealer.
