Berdan Primers re-vivited

[Bill H]

Buffalo Arms has no idea when/if the will have any more .401 brass, so I ordered the Fiocci brass from Grafs, and now need to find a source of Berdan primers.

I am in South Eastern PA, near Allentown. Would like to find some close enough that I can pick them up rather than pay the Hazmat fee.

Any information on a source of a few hundred primers would be greatly appreciated.

I am also going to try making some cases from either .30-30 or .35 Remington, but that may not work out.

This is a nice old rifle in apparently quite good condition, really would like to shoot it. I have a model 1905 in .35wsl, but have been able to buy both factory ammo and reformed cases with little problem. Only box of .401 was asking price $95.00, and thats a little pricey to shoot.
