    Berdan(.217"/5,5mm), Corrosive; Nitrocellulose Powder. Standard Yugoicon Military pre-1990s.

    Try Dagammo.com for Tula Berdan primers...the Yugo cases are excellent brass, and will reload well. Plenty of info on Gunboards and Parallax re Berdan reloading.

    Regrads,

    Berdanner since 1967.
