When were berdans ended?

[RJW NZ]

Hmm, I didn't know that at all...
how about so far as enfield milsurp 303 goes? Didn't the ammo we tend to get stop being corrosive in the 1950's? Anything more accurate than that?

You will probably find the Indians made it well into the 90s, or possibly still making it. Whilst not 303 i do have a packet 1994 dated 380Mk II Berdan primed made at Kirkee arsenal.Off the top of my head the latest dated example Berdan primed 303 i have is 1971.
