Sorry Mike, I couldn't help myself.

Can they be use with cases that use boxer primers? If so can they be removed the same way as boxer primers?

No, because a boxer primer has the anvil in the primer cup. A berdan primed brass has the anvil, a little 'Nub' of brass, between the two flash holes.

That's who I thought of too! Somehow I thought maybe he'd moved past that phase.

He may have.

So if you happen to have a bunch of advils and the cups are the same than you could use them in boxer brass it seems.

I don't buy name brand, I buy generic Ibuprophen!

Well no, becuase the anvil is where the flash hole is on boxer primed brass. and I don't even know if the dimensions of the two style primers match?

 

[fstdraw]

Still in that phase fellas! Like looking at pretty women, reloading Berdan never goes out of style.

Berdan don't have anvils in the cups, so it seems like you could just take anvils from used boxers and place them in the berdan cups there by turning it into a boxer primer. In theory.

Oh, I see what you're getting at. Yeah, those little things that separate, and go all over the floor, when you decap boxer primers are the anvils! Seems it might be easier to put the word out you're looking for berdan primed brass? Talk to fstdraw, he's probably got a bunch.

Actually, was looking at maybe repurposing some primers. I've got a lot of leftover anvils from boxers.

Primer diameters are different.

Primer diameters are different.

If my google fu is working right, these ones are used in 7.62 nato(standard), so they could possibly be converted.

Might be able to use on yugo m67 brass cases

 

[fstdraw]

I think by the time you super glue the Boxer primer into the Berdan case (or vice versa), you might as well stick a long match thru the bolt and carrier and ignite the unprimed case that way!

Yugo brass is fantastic once reloaded. My favorite by far.

Maybe not very practical to do but it seems it's doable if you're in a pinch.
