berdan

The Berdan rifle (винтовка Бердана/vintovka Berdana in Russian) is a Russian rifle created by the American firearms expert and inventor Hiram Berdan in 1868. It was standard issue in the Russian army from 1870 to 1891, when it was replaced by the Mosin–Nagant rifle. It was widely used in Russia as a hunting weapon, and sporting variants, including shotguns, were produced until the mid-1930s.
The Russian Berdan I (M1868) and Berdan II (M1870) rifles of .42 caliber are distinct from the Spanish Berdan 15mm (.58+ cal) conversion rifles adopted by Spain as the M1857/67 Berdan (and related engineer, artillery & short rifles).

    9mm Roll forming at 5-6k per hr and case prep press running at 2500 CPH and “wham’O”press stops with the read out “Case obstruction or Yellow Sensor”. Well yellow sensor means the de-primer sensor has been tripped, or pressed upward. Sure enough the decapping pin is bent from hitting...

    Recently came across some 7.63X39 Russian cases, which had severe bulging near the case web. These could easily separate, if loaded and fired again, don't know if you could even resize them. I wouldn't even try. Don't need a stuck case in my die. I'm enclosing another picture with Berdan primed...
