what does non-reloadable brass look like? is there a designation on it or is it rim fire cartridges?
awesome thanks Spengo.
so is the reason why Berdan is not reloadable is because you cant get the primer out like on a boxer style? just curious what makes it non reloadable.
rimfire brass is non-reloadable
steel cased ammo (not brass) is *mostly* non-reloadable (I say mostly because some crazy dudes do reload steel)
berdan primed ammo is also *mostly* non-reloadable (usually it says on the box)
Here is a diagram showing the difference between berdan and boxer primed ammo:
I have a friend that makes brass 7.62 berdan primed cases reloadable for cheap. He fills the case with water and uses a polished rod that just fits the casemouth, about 7.65, to force the water through the flash holes.
After the primer is removed he drills a boxer flash hole using his drill press.
Gets them cheap too!
One of you guys is going to kill himself.
Not by reloading, but by wiring dryers.
