Berdan primers

[Bruce_in_Oz]

That .254" primer you need for "oddball" European stuff is the RWS 6504. There may be another variant of that, but 6504 is the label on the box in my primer cupboard.

The dinky one for 9mm and small European rifle cases is the RWS 4506.

I'll see if I still have the listing of RWS and Alcan Berdan primers from the 1970s down in the crypt.

The old Italian 6.5 x 52 used its own "special" Berdan primer and I have NEVER been tempted to reload the stuff, what with the weird necks with an internal "step" and oddball (even by Berdan standards) primers, not to mention odd-sized bullets.
